Cooper signed to protect women going to the NC for an abortion

The Supreme Court on Wednesday reaffirmed Roy Cooper’s executive order to strengthen the protection of reproductive health services in the state by overturning Supreme Court Ro and Wadin, allowing states to determine abortion rights.

North Carolina is one of only two dozen states that have approved the practice. Neighbors South Carolina and Tennessee have banned or restricted abortions.

Executive Order 263 provides extra protection to cover doctors, nurses and patients. Cabinet agencies are instructed to refrain from assisting anyone traveling to North Carolina for access to reproductive health services.

A pregnant Cabinet employee does not force her to move to a state that does not protect her health rights.

The order states that the state will not extradite anyone involved in abortion, and that law enforcement agencies will follow the law to protect abortion clinics and procedures. Instructs that no one be excluded from the health care providers that provide the procedure.

Cooper signed the order on Wednesday with Alexis Magil Johnson, president of the proposed Parental Action Fund.

We must continue to do all we can to make abortion in North Carolina accessible in North Carolina, “Johnson said in a statement from the State Department. .

Patients in North Carolina can have an abortion for up to 25 weeks. It requires a 72-hour waiting period and includes other restrictions such as compulsory counseling and ultrasound examinations, medication through telemedicine, and the consent of minors.

However, access to women’s reproductive health was not guaranteed by the state legislature. Republicans have begun to anticipate drastic action, especially if the tables are changed in the mid-fall election.

Council Speaker Tim Moore supports the anti-abortion law.

“When we return to our regular legislative session in January, North Carolina can expect the protection of life as a top priority for the legislature,” Moore Ro Vad said on June 25. “North Carolina can be sure. We are currently taking the necessary steps to enforce the ban on books.

Moore and Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger have asked Attorney General Josh Stein to lift the 2019 order banning the 20-week abortion ban. Due to the repeal, it has now been implemented.

“The Supreme Court has usurped the constitutional right to reproductive freedom that women have relied on for five decades,” Cooper said in a statement. If he takes over the Republican superheroes this election year, the governor could be overrun.

“People need to know that the vote in the state legislature this November will determine women’s health and the destiny of freedom,” Cooper said in a statement.
