RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina Legislature voted Tuesday night to override Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of a 12-week abortion ban.
Republican lawmakers passed the bill along party lines last week, which reduced the state's ban on abortion from 20 weeks to the end of the first trimester, but it was quickly blocked by the Democratic governor.
The current exception that allows an abortion if the life of the mother is in danger will remain in place. The pregnant person must also receive an ultrasound prior to the abortion as well as a notice that they can look at"the remains" after the procedure is completed.
