The North Carolina Senate just passed the new 12-week pro-life bill we introduced you to yesterday and now it heads to the Governor for a veto.
But since Republicans have supermajorities in both the House and Senate, the governor’s veto won’t stand. So he went on CNN to beg Republicans for help:
North Carolina Republicans are pushing an extreme abortion ban that will cause many clinics to shut their doors and dramatically reduce women's health care freedom. pic.twitter.com/t6wwsYnuug

The begging comes just after the one minute mark. But I encourage you to watch the entire video because the more he describes the bill, the more I like it. Specifically the part about how the bill will be ‘oppressive’ for abortion clinics, forcing some of them to close. Yes!
When the bill passed in the Senate, you can hear one of the pro-baby murder protesters scream during the hate chant:

Republicans have the votes and unless someone caves, the bill should become law. We’ll let you know when it does.
