The risk-averse Republican leadership in Raleigh does not want to take chances on the abortion issue. There is disagreement within the Republican caucus on this matter in both the House and Senate.

Yes, TC, they need to summon up the will to enact meaningful restrictions on abortions . Whether they do that is anybody’s guess
Between the mushy moderates in the party and the “scared-of-their-own shadows” approach adopted by some, it seems doubtful they will do anything terribly meaningful. Pro-life forces within the state need to exert maximum pressure in order to make things happen.
