    NC Republicans always go sicko mode because half the shit they propose is immediately blocked by Roy Cooper.

    Edit: This dude has always been a crank and this will go nowhere. It’s also total nonsense, since “using lethal force to prevent an abortion” is an abortion. And using lethal force after an abortion doesn’t prevent one.

      yeah, but it does hurt the woman, and the point of all this anti-abortion nonsense has always been to hurt women. the cruelty is the point.

        I know, all I’m saying is that this will be thrown out almost immediately. He’s tried this before and even the Republicans laugh him out of the room.

        They will probably end up doing something, but they’ll do something that’s more clinical and enforceable. Something like withholding aid from women who get abortions, or criminal charges for “aiding and abetting”.

      The way that the bill is written seems like it is meant to make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. Also Roy Cooper stopped being the Governor in January 2025. The current Governor is Josh Stein. Roy Cooper is running to be a Senator for NC this year, also a Zionists.

        So if I say I thought someone was on their way to commit an abortion, I can use that as a defense? It’s reasonable, their cell phone looked like a package of mifepristone

        My bad, they’re so indistinguishable that I forgot.

        This is also definitely terrible, but NC/SC Republicans have always been a totally different breed. NC in particular has some really virulent Republicans due to the swing state status and ridiculous gerrymandering that gives a few religious enclaves as much power as the two largest cities combined.
