NC: Senate approves abortion law
Source: WRAL
RALEIGH, N.C. The state Senate has given final legislative approval to a bill that imposes new regulations and restrictions on abortion providers.
Senators voted 32-13, sending it to Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican who has said he will sign the measure as it was passed.
Best known among the bill's provisions is a requirement that the Department of Health and Human Services develop regulations for abortion clinics similar to ambulatory surgical centers. Similar language in other states have required abortion clinics to pay for hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars worth of upgrades. Only one abortion clinic in the state meets those guidelines. Although the House added language that those rules should be written without "unduly restricting access," opponents of the bill said that line was merely a legislative fig leaf.
"This bill is coming back to us in a form that's not fundamentally changed," said Sen. Floyd McKissick, D-Durham. "It's still a deprivation of the rights of women."

Yes they passed the Motorcycle Vagina Bill, now it is up to the liar McCory to keep his campaign promise not to restrict a woman's right to choose.
