Despite calling abortion bans that impact Republican officials a “personal matter,” GOP lawmakers are issuing abortion bans that take away the personal rights of women nationwide. After a Facebook post from 2012 by North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson detailing how he paid for his now-wife’s abortion resurfaced, the North Carolina Republican Party declined to comment on the issue, noting that the incident was a “personal matter.”
However, these same officials are advocating for extreme abortion bans in which rape and incest are not even included as exceptions.
