HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) — The GOP candidates vying for the nomination to run for North Carolina governor are weighing in on abortion.
Despite a prior reticence to continue speaking about his positions on abortion, Mark Robinson told a constituent at a Feb. 3 event in Pitt County that he would “absolutely” protect life from conception.
“We’ve got to do it that same way they rolled it forward, we’ve got to do it the same way with rolling it back. We’ve got it down to 12 weeks. The next goal is to get it down to 6, and then just keep moving from there, but I think the most important work we have to do, beyond that, is the work we’re going to do with crisis pregnancy centers. The work we’ll do with our adoption, daycare, all those systems,” he said in audio obtained by FOX8.
Crisis pregnancy centers are non-profits that “attract patients by offering free services such as onsite ultrasounds and STI testing; however, their primary purpose is to discourage abortion, often through manipulative and misleading tactics,” according to a report in the National Library of Medicine.
