North Carolina lawmakers in the state House and Senate reached veto-proof majorities on a new bill to ban abortion at 12 weeks. The legislation came as a compromise and was introduced by 10 Republican female legislators.
In addition to the ban on abortion beyond 12 weeks, the bill establishes an exception through 20 weeks for rape and incest and for fetal"life-limiting" anomalies at 24 weeks and retains an exception for the life of the mother for the duration of pregnancy.
The measure includes $75 million for child care expansion, $16 million to reduce infant and maternal mortality, $20 million for state employee maternity and paternity leave, $59 million for foster care and children's homes, and $3 million to help parents complete community college. Calling it"the most egregious bill that has not seen the light of day in its current form until this morning," Carney criticized the process as being undemocratic."I'm begging, please step back, take a pause" to have more time to discuss the bill.
