North Carolina to Vote on Controversial 12-Week Abortion Ban, Testing Strength of Republican Supermajority in Legislature

North Carolina is set to vote on Tuesday on a controversial 12-week abortion ban that has been vetoed by Governor Roy Cooper. The Republican Party's new supermajority in the legislature has made it difficult for Democrats to fight the ban, and if the override is successful, the ban will go into effect on July 1. Abortion-rights advocates are prepared to fight the bill, and the vote will be a crucial moment for the future of abortion access in the state.
