Thousands gathered on Raleighs Bicentennial Mall Saturday cheering as Gov. Roy Cooper made good on his promise to veto Senate Bill 20, the restrictive abortion ban rushed through the Republican-controlled legislature with little public input and zero amendments. The governor will need at least one Republican to rethink their position in order to sustain his veto. The bill does not have the backing of the NC Medical Society. Read full coverage of the rally and the controversial legislation by NC Newsline reporter Lynn Bonner.

These hideous government overreach bills are being rammed through all over the place with no discussion and absolutely no public input, especially from women and doctors.
Since they're all pretty much alike, I sincerely hope someone out there is tracking down the author. I want him exposed and pilloried and sued for the deaths of women who couldn't get treatment for pregnancies that went wrong.
That turncoat has ended her political career. The good news is that because it passed with her crooked vote, it won't be passed over Cooper's veto.

NC doesn't allow for recall elections, so her constituents are screwed for now.

Mail, email, the electronic media they use. Hourly and tell them not to override the veto.
Tell their funders they will boycott and not vote for these wipes.
I don't think standing in a square means anything to these misogynistic GOP.
