Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson in North Carolina has recently made a significant shift in his stance on abortion, aiming to appeal to a broader electorate. Robinson, who had previously advocated for additional abortion restrictions beyond current state law, is now emphasizing empathy in a new campaign commercial that shares a personal story about his wife's abortion decades ago.
In the commercial, Robinson and his wife discuss the difficult decision they made and express support for the state's current 12-week ban on most abortions. This marks a departure from Robinson's previous statements indicating support for stricter abortion bans, including one as early as six weeks into pregnancy.
