WATCH: Abortion rights will be one of the top issues on voters’ minds when they head to the polls this year.
The race for North Carolina Attorney General could help decide what the future of legal abortion is in the state.
Jeff Jackson is a Democratic candidate for Attorney General and has pledged to fight for and defend abortion rights. He believes if one of his Republican opponents is elected, however, it could result in further restrictions to reproductive rights in the state.
“…an Attorney General with a direct line to a very conservative state Supreme Court, and the two of them working in tandem, can do a lot to roll back reproductive freedom.”
