Heartbreak for NC Dems As GOP Supermajority Overrides Gov’s Veto on Abortion Bill

(1/1)

mystery-ak:
In early April, North Carolina state Rep. Tricia Cotham made national headlines and infuriated her fellow Democrats when she announced she was switching to the Republican party, officially handing the House GOP the power to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s numerous vetoes in the process.

The big question on the minds of the Usual Suspects in the media and on the pro-abortion left in the aftermath was how would Cotham vote on abortion-related legislation, which she had mostly sided with Democrats on in past votes.

She answered her critics a month later, voting in favor of a bill that shortened the time frame for women seeking abortions from the original 20-week limit to 12, with exceptions for rape, incest, severe fetal conditions, and the mother’s health.

And on Tuesday, just a few days after term-limited Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper – surrounded by radical pro-abortion activists – made a very public show of vetoing the bill after putting pressure on four Republicans in the House including Cotham to sustain it, Cotham along with the three other Republicans Cooper tried to shame voted with every other Republican to override his veto.

Coupled with the North Carolina Senate overriding it earlier in the day, this meant that SB20 – the “Care for Women, Children, and Families Act” – became law.

Maybe Cooper shouldn't veto the bills protecting children.
