It’s time for my colleagues to step up & do the right thing: raise the debt ceiling.
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 over doctors, women, and choice. Our fight isn’t over. We will fight this legislation with everything we have, Republicans will be voted out next November, and we will elect people who support Americans’ most fundamental rights.
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.
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 state and across the country – Republicans just aren’t listening. Let’s be clear here: this new ban is just another attempt for Republicans to control women’s lives and bodies. The GOP thinks they can recklessly endanger people in North Carolina and get away with it.
This reversal under the new, majority-GOP court gives voters no state-level protections against partisan gerrymandering, which only serves one purpose: silencing the voices of voters for political gain. North Carolina voters should be the only people with the power to choose our representatives, and I’ll fight this assault on our democracy every step of the way. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article274831436.html
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“
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

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 access to Mifepristone. It is crucial to ensure access to this medication is available to anyone who needs it. https://abc11.com/abortion-medication-mifepristone-federal-approval/13107719/
