DGA Statement on North Carolina Republicans’ Abortion Ban on the Anniversary of the Leaked Dobbs Decision

Democratic Governors Association Executive Director Meghan Meehan-Draper released the following statement in response to North Carolina Republicans introducing a new abortion ban on the one-year anniversary of the leaked draft decision showing the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade:

“Every Republican running for governor in North Carolina would enthusiastically sign this dangerous and extreme abortion ban, and some, like Mark Robinson, would go even further by outlawing exceptions for victims of rape or incest. Women’s most fundamental rights are on the ballot in November 2024 and we must elect a Democratic governor to continue to protect reproductive freedom in North Carolina.

“The DGA looks forward to holding Mark Robinson and the entire North Carolina GOP field accountable for their extreme agenda.”

Lt. Governor Mark Robinson is one of North Carolina’s most outspoken opponents of reproductive freedom, and has said unequivocally that if elected governor, he would “pass a bill saying you can’t have an abortion in North Carolina for any reason.” Watch HERE.
