Unable to play video Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a Republican-sponsored bill Friday aimed at preventing abortions based on a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The veto was expected. It sets up what could be the first veto override attempt by Republican legislative leaders during the 2021 session. Political analysts expected Cooper to veto the bill, as he did the abortion-focused âBorn Aliveâ bill that cleared the legislature in 2019. Bill opponents said they fear the doctor-patient conversation requirements in the bill could jeopardize womenâs trust in medical care, and could lead some women to carry pregnancies to term once they learn of a Down syndrome diagnosis, even if they have other reasons for considering an abortion.
N.C.'s House Bill 453, titled "Human Life Nondiscrimination Act/No Eugenics," would prevent women from having an abortion because of a Down syndrome diagnosis.
