North Carolina House Passes New Abortion Restrictions

North Carolina's GOP-controlled House passed controversial abortion measures Thursday tucked in a motorcycle safety bill on a 74-41 vote, according to the Charlotte Observer.

Republicans argue that the bill is about ensuring women's safety, while Democrats say the bill forces abortion clinics to adhere to unneccessary regulations they can't afford to comply with, essentially forcing the clinics to shut down.

Republicans came under fire for attaching the measure to the motorcycle safety bill because it allowed them to quickly push through the bill with limited public input.

When she interviewed Dan Rather about it.

And she talked about North Carolina's motorcycle law being turned in to yet another anti-abortion law.

And she also talked about how the Virginia Governor might have to resign amid federal and state investigations!!!
