McCrory: Don't TRAP NC women

Stop TRAPing North Carolina women--live up to your campaign promises! Stand up to dangerous rhetoric coming from your own party and to legislative efforts that stand in the way of women's reproductive health care. A woman's right to make her own decision about if and when she has children should not be dependent on your political whims.

Why is this important?

Laws that target regulation of abortion providers, or TRAP laws, have been sweeping across the county, including here in North Carolina. Just last year, Governor McCrory signed into effect some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation, directly contradicting his own campaign promise to never do so.

McCrory has already said that he’ll vote for Trump if he gets the Republican nomination for president – does McCrory also agree with Trump on his position on abortion?

While the nation rightly ridicules the Governor for his misguided and destructive support of HB 2, let’s not forget the other promises he’s broken to women of North Carolina. Tell McCrory to stand with women and let him know that we won’t tolerate his Trump-esque attitudes and actions toward abortion in our state. Women deserve elected leaders who don’t TRAP them in petty partisan games.
