During his gubernatorial campaign, North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson sparked controversy by comparing supporters of reproductive rights and defenders of slavery, labelling mass killings in America as karmic retribution for the "murder of infants" and a case of "chickens coming home to roost."
Robinson noted that he has been warned, as a political candidate, "not to say that abortion is murder." However, he insists there's no other way to describe it, affirming, "Abortion is murder." According to a Rolling Stone review, the Republican gubernatorial candidate's public statements and posts on social media platforms confirm that he has referred to abortion as murder several times.
