This week a new abortion law will go into effect in North Carolina which tightens restrictions unless a federal judge blocks them. This comes after the GOP-controlled legislature overrode the governor’s veto of the controversial bill last month. Some of the biggest changes include the measure that restricts abortion to just 12 weeks—that’s down from 20 weeks—and new hoops that women seeking abortions will need to jump through. WRAL state government reporter Travis Fain fills us in on last-minute changes that lawmakers are including in the bill and explains what it means to the Republican majority in North Carolina.
