As Republican-led states, including North Carolina, pass new abortion bans, here's what former President Trump had to say. 
@ncgop lawmakers passed a 12-week abortion ban last week over the veto of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. The ban has:
👉 No abortions after 12 weeks, with some exceptions.
👉 More barriers to care in the first 12 weeks.
👉 Restrictions on NC’s 14 existing abortion clinics, which could force 6 of them to close.

WATCH: @ncgop's abortion ban, Senate Bill 20, will make North Carolina a "less appealing and less hospitable place to live,” State Rep. @deb_butlernc said last week. Republicans ignored her warning and passed the ban moments later. It's a 12-week ban that also makes it harder to get care in the first 12 weeks.

🚨 NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is the favorite to capture the Republican nomination for governor in 2024, but his often hateful rhetoric on #LGTBQ rights and reproductive freedom could be a non-starter with most independent voters.
Enter U.S. Rep. Mark Walker, a former congressman who is pitching himself as a more moderate option, despite a long record to the contrary.
Walker’s comments may not be as volatile as Robinson’s, but he has ties to the same far-right religious group that seeks to end the separation of church and state and expresses anti-LGTBQ views. Walker has also supported the ultimate goal of banning #abortion at conception.
Yet in his announcement this weekend, Walker said he had a history of working across party lines, The Associated Press reported–-a must in North Carolina where Democratic voters outnumber registered Republicans and unaffiliated voters outnumber them both.
“What we need is a governor candidate that can withhold and withstand a level of scrutiny that we’ve never seen for the chief executive in North Carolina,” Walker said in his announcement, as reported by the AP.
“Republicans are going to have to ask themselves at some point does character and integrity still matter to us.”
Attorney General Josh Stein will likely be the Democratic nominee. The Republican primary is next March. For more NC news, views, and culture, follow this page!

🤔 Does making it harder for a person to access #healthcare make them more likely to work at a time when unemployment is already at a record low?
WATCH as Anne Shoup of @protect.our.care explains how work requirements are often intentionally designed to kick people off programs like Medicaid.
Despite evidence showing the failure of work requirements, Republicans in the US House of Representatives are threatening to let the country default on its national debt—causing an economic crisis—unless Democrats agree to implement strict new work requirements on tens of millions of Americans who get their health insurance from #Medicaid.
The #GOP plan would also impose massive cuts to Medicaid spending — potentially up to 50% — which would affect a significant portion of the 85 million Americans who rely on the program.

🚨 #breaking North Carolina public schools are facing a state of emergency, Gov. Roy Cooper said on Monday, but the impending disaster is far from natural. 
The Republican-controlled General Assembly is set to pass several bills this legislative session that further drain vital resources from an already underfunded public school system and divert them to a private system teeming with money.
“The Republican legislature is aiming to choke the life out of public education,” Cooper said in a video address to the state Monday afternoon. “The damage will set back our schools for a generation.
“When kids leave public schools for private school,” he added, “the public schools lose hundreds of millions of dollars.”
North Carolina public schools face severe teacher and staff shortages, especially in rural areas, and the state ranks dead last or near last in several national spending categories that measure how much states value their school-age children. But the impending bills, along with the proposed budgets from both the House and Senate, will make these problems worse while helping wealthy families pay for private school.

🔥 @Sen. KandieSmith (@kandienchouse), who represents Edgecombe and Pitt Counties in the North Carolina Senate, says teacher pay in the budget proposal by the GOP Senate Majority “just does not go far enough. At all.”
The Senate released its budget last week, which includes a 4.5% raise on average for teachers over the next two years, a fraction of the 18% raise Gov. Roy Cooper requested. The Republican plan also doesn’t keep up with inflation.
The state ranks 36th in the nation in teacher pay and many teaching positions remain open.

😵 Gun violence is now Americans’ top public health concern, according to a new Axios-Ipsos poll.
The survey of 1,095 adults found that 26% of Americans believe gun violence is the biggest public health threat in the nation, a 9% increase since February.
There have already been more than 200 mass shootings this year. President Biden has repeatedly called on Congress to pass stronger gun safety laws, but Republicans in the House have refused.
The survey found that 25% of respondents believe opioids/fentanyl are the biggest public health threat, with obesity coming in third (20%), followed by cancer (8%).
