Carolina Abortion Fund
I have an important update on the NC 12-abortion ban: The bill passed the House and Senate and is on @RoyCoopernc’s desk right now. The good news is that Gov. Cooper has already vetoed it to protect our right to choose. The bad news is that we expect the legislature to override his veto. Like […]
Yesterday, I voted against House Republicans and for America.
Instead of working with us, the GOP has passed dangerous unnecessary legislation that would expedite child deportation, restart construction of the pointless border wall, and do nothing to keep families together—this does not reflect our values. Our country has a long history of immigrants contributing to America for the better, and Republicans have forgotten this. […]
Raise the Debt Ceiling
It’s time for my colleagues to step up & do the right thing: raise the debt ceiling.
There’s no hiding it: NC Republicans are weaponizing health care against women.
I’m heartbroken for women across our state and country. I’m scared for women of the South and what last night’s vote and today’s discussions mean for the future of our country. Because there are no other words to describe what’s happening: By passing the 12-week abortion ban, Republicans are weaponizing health care and putting politics […]
Egregious Legislation
North Carolina Republicans have shown where their priorities lie, controlling women and our bodies. I’m proud to stand with champions for reproductive freedom in speaking out about this egregious legislation. We will mobilize, we will organize, and we will make our voices heard at the ballot box.
BREAKING NOW
After trying for a full abortion ban just a few weeks ago, NC Republicans have come up with a new plan to pass a 12-week abortion ban and circumvent the will of the North Carolina voters. No matter how many times we’ve stood together and said we do not support abortion bans – in our […]
We’re standing up for freedom, democracy, and a real shot at the American dream.
Let’s finish the job. “Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours. That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let’s finish the job. JoeBiden.com“
Republicans in NC & Congress Advanced Harmful Bills
It’s shameful that Republicans in NC & Congress advanced harmful bills this week that attack trans kids across the country. These bills do nothing to help children. We should pursue real solutions to help students — like gun safety reforms and mental health care. https://amp.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article274530196.html?fbclid=IwAR1wdbkSqTCKozTFn_5Thl8-RmjqW0Yu9QY2_pAJ2E07hGRnJ7vjL8rU6xk

Mifepristone
Last week, access to Mifepristone — a safe medication widely used for miscarriages and abortions — was banned nationwide by an extremist judge in Texas, putting tens of millions of women’s reproductive care in jeopardy. I support the Protecting Reproductive Freedom Act, legislation that would remove the ability of a state to ban or restrict […]
