This week 51 Senators voted to allow the Supreme Court to strip women of their fundamental right to abortion healthcare. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion access will be left in the hands of State legislatures dead set on turning the clock backward 50 years. We have already seen what Republicans are capable of when it comes to women's personal liberties, and now I fear women in my home State of North Carolina could face a similar fate. All that stands between us, and an egregious abortion ban is Governor Roy Cooper and enough of his allies in the legislature. Despite this threat, I am still hopeful because I believe that the women of North Carolina will make their voices heard. We are ready to fight for our freedom and liberty. Women deserve to have their decisions protected and respected. ____________________
