Gov. Roy Cooper says he plans on Saturday to veto Senate Bill 20, the measure that would ban abortion in North Carolina after 12 weeks. Cooper said Tuesday at an event in Davidson that even though GOP lawmakers hold a supermajority, he just needs one Republican member to defect and vote to sustain his veto.
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson said he was "not interested" in discussing abortion Thursday as state Republicans approved a ban on most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
