Bingham just got an excused absence in Senate. He was here just a few min ago. GOP prob has H854 votes Background: http://ow.ly/5PxCe #NCGA
The women in this State deserve real compassion when making decisions about their health not mandates to evoke guilt. #ncpol
Senator Stan Bingham, you are turning your back on women across this state. Be a man and take a vote instead of running away #NCGA
Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, said he feels strongly that the bill infringes on the doctor-patient relationship. In fact, he was the lone Republican opposing the measure when it passed the Senate by a 29-20 margin. However, he didn’t rule out the possibility of walking out during Thursday’s vote. “I’d be very unhappy in having to feel like I was put in a position that I had to vote for it,” Bingham said.
Lawmakers need a three-fifths majority in order to trump any veto from the governor. But Senate president Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, said fellow Republican Sen. Richard Stevens will be out the entire week. If both Stevens, who didn’t vote on the bill when it passed the Senate in June, and Bingham miss the override vote, Republicans would only need 29 votes.
I pointed out to Bingham that he could be the deciding vote. But Bingham reiterated that he still wasn’t sure what would happen Thursday.
Ok Folks this guy need to heard from you, even if he not your senator, Every woman in the North Carolina need to contact him.. Force him to vote. Don’t let him just walk out without voting on this bill..
