North Carolina’s Democratic governor has vetoed legislation that would have banned nearly all abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Surprisingly, Cooper has not contacted any of the four lawmakers to discuss the bill, according to the lawmakers and sources close to them.
Four North Carolina Republicans have opposed new abortion restrictions. Only one of them needs to make good on their word to block a new bill.
Cooper usually vetoes bills privately in his office, announcing his decision in a press release. This time he'll take his veto stamp to a much more public setting.
