On the abortion override, the House voted 72-47 in favor of a bill requiring a woman to have an ultrasound of the fetus, consider an offer to see the shape and hear a heartbeat in her uterus, receive state-mandated counseling, and wait 24 hours before an abortion.
"The intent is to give women the information they need," said sponsor Rep. Ruth Samuelson, R-Mecklenburg. "Large numbers of women want this bill."
Women don’t need the Damn Government involve in this matter.
However Ruth, thinks she knows what is best for the women whom she think is beneath her in life.
The new restrictions would keep abortions legal and make them safer than before by requiring doctors and clinics to have insurance and backup plans, Samuelson said.
Ruth, please please, tell these women just how making them wait a day and see an ultrasound and the heart beat makes Abortions safer. Please bestow you almighty knowledge on these poor unfortunate souls, in pain, in need
More House Reps speak up,
Democrats argued the restrictions were less about safety and full information than the Republican majority serving the political priorities of its supporters.
"It's a sad day for the women of North Carolina," said Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Wake.
Rep. Alma Adams, D-Guilford, said the General Assembly would never pass a law that would place such restrictions on a procedure for men.
"I was created from the womb of my mother just like every person here, and my gender should not determine whether I or not I can make a decision what I could do with my body," Adams said.
"It's a place the state has no right to be, constitutionally or medically," said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland.
however ladies you have this putz to thanks.
Rep. Jim Crawford, D-Granville, who also sided with Republicans on the budget and other override votes this week, cast the deciding vote on the abortion bill. He switched his "no" vote from last month to a "yes" vote on Tuesday's override.
