We need to talk seriously about what's happening in NC.

1. This is not a 12-week ban. The bill is so poorly written it is essentially a total ban.

2. This bill impacts all pregnancies--not just unwanted ones.

3. It creates dangerous gov't tracking/surveillance systems requiring anyone using mifepristone to publicly disclose their home address, previous number of live births, previous pregnancies, and preexisting medical conditions. @JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton 4. Most clinics will shut down creating a bottleneck in access and care effectively removing any opportunities within the 12-week timeframe. Mifepristone won't be delivered in a timely manner--if at all. @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC 5. Similar bills in TX & FL show reduced care for women wanting their pregnancies but miscarry. This bill is so poorly written protecting a mother's life is no longer in the hands of a trained medical professional--but the hospital's lawyers.

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC 6. Similar laws passed in other states have hospital lawyers demanding signs of infection before medical intervention. Avoidable near-death experiences are well documented in TX. cnn.com/2022/11/16/hea…

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC 7. Doctors in other states are required to wait for patients' vital signs to change before offering medical care--signs of change often mean doctors are intervening TOO LATE.

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC 8. The Governor plans to veto this bill next week and you can stop the general assembly from overriding the veto. abc11.com/nc-abortion-bi…

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC Rep. Davis made a campaign promise to protect reproductive healthcare in NC. He must vote NO on the veto override. Call and email him ASAP. No skipping this vote!!

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC Sen. Lee claims there is broad voter support for this bill but rushed it into law with zero debate, in less than 48 hours, and no bipartisan support. 🤔 This bill is only law because a key Dem in a very bizarre move switched parties less than a month ago.

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC Busy NCians are just fully beginning to understand what's even in this bill. Sen. Lee did not win in a landslide. @CityofWilm voters were politically gerrymandered in the last election.

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC @CityofWilm NHC's Black voters were also diluted when these new lines were drawn. @MichaelLee4NC it's disrespectful to your fellow Christians to claim a moral victory when equality and fairness were severely sacrificed.

@JHCannonMD @abreezeclayton @NC_Governor @RepTedDavisJr @MichaelLee4NC @CityofWilm Call Sen. Lee and tell him to vote NO on any veto override attempts. You calls will be documented. That matters.
