North Carolina has passed legislation banning most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy after the state’s Republican-controlled general assembly successfully overrode the Democratic governor’s veto on Tuesday evening.
Both the state senate and house voted along party lines, with the senate voting 30-20. The house completed the second and final part of the override with a vote of 72-48. The bill will repeal the current law, which bans abortions after 20 weeks.
