Related: About this forumNorth Carolina Gov Restricts Abortion, Offers the Ladies Cookies Instead
From the Charlotte Observer, posted on Daily Kos
Gov. Pat McCrory hasn't been willing to meet with the women (and a few men) protesting an abortion bill that opponents say restricts access to safe abortions. But he did stop by this afternoon with a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
McCrory was flanked by four security guards as he came out of the mansion gates. Before stepping onto common ground with the protesters he went as far as the middle of the street between his mansion and the vigil McCrory pointed directly at Jamie Sohn, a Chapel Hill resident.
I was like, 'Me?' and he nodded, she said during an interview shortly after.
The security guards stopped incoming traffic. Sohn walked out into the street to meet McCrory.
Sohn said McCrory told her: 'These are for you. God bless you, God bless you, God bless you.' " He handed her the plate of cookies, and waved as he walked away. She said she was too stunned to say anything back.
No one knew if the cookies were homemade the protesters didnt sample any before returning them. They slipped them under the mansions gate, along with a note that read: We want womens health care, not cookies.

The intended message being "don't like having the government legislate your body? Tough cookie"
