- NC GOP lawmaker removes name from anti-abortion bill after social media outcry
A North Carolina Republican lawmaker removed his name from an anti-abortion bill after social media criticism over its wording, which critics claimed could justify violence against individuals involved in abortions or using certain contraceptives. The bill, House Bill 1232, seeks to define human life as beginning at conception and holds abortion seekers accountable for murder charges, with no exceptions for rape, incest, or maternal life. Rep. Ben Moss withdrew as a sponsor, citing concerns about the bill's language, while Rep. Keith Kidwell remains the sole sponsor.
