NC VALUES RESPONDS TO GOVERNOR COOPER’S VETO OF “CARE FOR WOMEN, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ACT”

NC Values Coalition Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald responded today to Governor Cooper’s veto of pro-life legislation, SB20, which would prevent discriminatory and brutal partial birth abortions, and would give women financial support to help them choose life:

“Governor Cooper chose Mother’s Day weekend to veto legislation and rally against everything that encompasses motherhood—birth, growing biological and adoptive families, and care for babies. His actions would crush provisions to give women more opportunities to choose life, improve safety standards of clinics, and stop the barbaric painful practice of partial birth abortion. Governor Cooper’s bullish tactics of traveling to districts to pressure Republicans in sustaining his veto are a fool’s errand. We stand by Republicans and encourage them to stay strong against bullying and intimidation by a Governor who doesn’t value life, motherhood, or women in crisis.”
