RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina’s GOP leaders gave more indications Tuesday of what abortion legislation might look like if Republicans gain a supermajority this fall.
The General Assembly has a Republican majority, but not a supermajority needed to override vetoes from Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. The Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade has given states power over their abortion laws. North Carolina bans abortions past 20 weeks of pregnancy, a law recently upheld in court.
Republicans haven’t said much about what kind of abortion legislation they’ll propose in the 2023 legislative session.
