N. Carolina legislature approves abortion rules; veto ahead

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:25:32 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers on Thursday approved a ban on nearly all abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy, down from the current 20 weeks, in response to last year’s overturning of Roe v.
