'We’re going to have to kick it into an even higher gear when that veto stamp comes down,” the governor said. “If just one Republican in either the House or the Senate keeps a campaign promise to protect women’s reproductive health, we can stop this ban.”
Cooper spent this week on the road talking about the bill’s lesser-known details andupon key Republican lawmakers who were hesitant about further restrictions during their campaigns for office last year.
Cooper and allies have said those changes in practice will shut down clinics that cannot afford major upgrades mandated by new licensing standards and make it nearly impossible for women who live in rural areas or work long hours to access abortion services. “The way he's been showing up in their districts and harassing their constituents, it's disgusting,” said Wes Bryant, one of about 60 anti-abortion protesters gathered across the street from Cooper's rally for a prayer event.
