REMINDER: Mark Robinson Wants To Take Abortion Restrictions Even Further In North Carolina
North Carolina Republicans’ dangerous abortion ban is just the beginning for Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson. Mark Robinson. If elected, he would pass a total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest.
Here’s a reminder of where he stands:
- In a radio interview this year, he said: “If I had all the power right now, let’s say I was the governor and had a willing legislature, we could pass a bill saying you can’t have an abortion in North Carolina for any reason.”
- Robinson has called for imposing “dire consequences” on abortion providers.
- He’s said that when a woman becomes pregnant “it’s not (her) body anymore” and claimed that abortion is a “scourge that needs to be run out of this land.”
“Mark Robinson is even more extreme than his Republican colleagues in the legislature and if elected Governor, he wants to make abortion illegal for any reason even in the case of rape or incest,” said NCDP spokesperson Kate Frauenfelder. “We will keep working to hold him and the extreme field of GOP candidates accountable to ensure that their dangerous agenda does not become a reality for North Carolinians next fall.”
