We don't need politicians in the exam room with a woman and her doctor. But most North Carolinians believe that women should have the right to make decisions about their own bodies, and that we need to make sure that we protect that freedom. We can talk about the spectrum of what the law should be. North Carolina is more progressive than Kansas. You take the state of Kansas that has a 60-plus percent vote for protecting women's reproductive freedom in a very red state. "So, what we're talking about here is something that runs counter to what the vast majority of North Carolinians and Americans believe. They want to criminalize abortions, and that means doctors and potentially women themselves, and they want to say no exceptions for rape, for incest, for the mother's life being in danger. We're talking about a Republican party now, that says abortion is illegal. Cooper has been very vocal and public with his efforts to elect Democrats in this year’s mid-term elections. How do those issues and those developments point to exactly what you're saying?įor WUNC North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper poses for a portrait at the Governor's mansion on Wed., Aug. And you've got state legislative Republicans who are trying to get a 20-week ban, a law that was deemed unconstitutional, reinstated by a federal judge after this SCOTUS decision. Planned Parenthood, it's been reported, is putting $50 million into battleground states, including North Carolina. If we lose the number of Democrats that we need to sustain my veto this November, they will have open season on women's reproductive health." They haven't introduced or tried to pass any during these last few months because they know that I will have a successful veto. I've already vetoed bad Republican bills.

We will be talking about protecting women's reproductive freedom because we have seen Republicans move to the extreme on this issue. But the fact of whether I will be able to have an effective veto hangs in the balance here. "The Republicans will keep the majority in the legislature there's very little doubt about that, unless something drastic changes. I've talked to them, these unaffiliated and Republican voters and told them: if you’d like to keep the balance in North Carolina, you need to vote for your Democratic legislator this time. I have a number of unaffiliated and Republican friends, for that matter, who like the fact that we have a Democratic governor, a Republican majority legislature and a governor that can veto extreme bad legislation. Most North Carolina voters will tell you that they like it when there is a balance in state government.
