The &#8220;Care for Women, Children, and Families Act&#8221; prohibits abortions after 12 weeks, with exceptions for rape or incest until 20 weeks and fetal abnormalities until 24 weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Pro-Life Victory<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Today the North Carolina House of Representatives has affirmed the value of human life, and I am proud that the &#8216;Care for Women, Children, and Families Act&#8217; is now law,&#8221; said North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore. &#8220;Senate Bill 20 will save lives and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/north-carolina-republicans-override-democrat-governors-veto-on-abortion-ban\/\" title=\"NC Republicans override Dem governor's veto of abortion ban.\">provide needed support<\/a> for women and families while putting North Carolina&#8217;s abortion law in line with the most of rest of the free world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The override required all Republicans in the state House, including a recently defected Democrat, to vote together. Despite pressure from Governor Cooper, who argued that the ban would lead &#8220;to harm for pregnant women and their families,&#8221; the caucus voted together 72-48 to implement the abortion ban.<\/p>\n<h3>Assistance for Pregnant Women<\/h3>\n<p>The bill also provides millions of dollars in assistance to pregnant women, including $75 million for childcare and another $59 million for foster-related care. &#8220;This bill provides resources for the pregnant woman. It provides broad resources and a significant knowledge base to enable her, to equip her in finding a path forward \u2014 a path forward for her, and a path forward for her unborn child,&#8221; said Rep. Kristin Baker.<\/p>\n<h3>Condemnation from Democrats<\/h3>\n<p>The bill was widely condemned by North Carolina Democrats, including Attorney General Josh Stein, who is running for governor. However, Tami Fitzgerald of the North Carolina Values Association said, &#8220;Today marks the beginning of North Carolina&#8217;s first real step towards becoming a pro-life state. Pro-life North Carolinians have waited over 50 years to roll back the gestational age for sanctioned killing of pre-born children. With this veto override, legislators have rejected Governor Cooper&#8217;s extreme, unreasonable position of abortion without restriction up to birth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The House gallery was flooded with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-71-of-americans-support-legal-limits-on-abortion\/\" title=\"Poll: 71% of Americans Support Legal Limits on Abortion\">pro-abortion supporters<\/a> who screamed &#8220;shame&#8221; at the Republicans after the vote.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The &#8220;Care for Women, Children, and Families Act&#8221; bans abortions after 12 weeks, with exceptions for rape or incest until 20 weeks and fetal abnormalities until 24 weeks.<\/li>\n<li>The override required all Republicans in the state House, including a recently defected Democrat, to vote together.<\/li>\n<li>The bill provides millions of dollars in assistance to pregnant women, including $75 million for childcare and another $59 million for foster-related care.<\/li>\n<li>The bill was widely condemned by North Carolina Democrats, including Attorney General Josh Stein, who is running for governor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>North Carolina has taken a significant step towards becoming a pro-life state with the passage of the &#8220;Care for Women, Children, and Families Act.&#8221; The bill not only bans abortions after 12 weeks but also provides much-needed assistance to pregnant women. While Democrats have condemned the bill, Republicans have stood firm in their belief that every life is valuable and deserving of protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina Republicans used their supermajority to override Democratic Governor Roy Cooper&#8217;s veto of a 12-week abortion ban.
