North Carolina Governor Josh Stein wants to ensure his state allows killing babies in abortions regardless of what President Donald Trump may do.
Stein has issued an executive order to bolster protections for abortion businesses. The executive order directs state agencies to refrain from cooperating with out-of-state investigations or prosecutions related to abortion – which would allow abortion facilities to break other states’ pro-life laws. That sets them up for legal safeguards from mailing dangerous abortion drugs that kill babies to people in pro-life states.
The order also ensures that all data and information surrounding abortions remains private – which could protect criminals who prey on women by ordering abortion drugs and forcing their wife or partner to take them to kill a baby they don’t want.
A leading pro-life group condemned the order in comments to LifeNews.
“With all the serious challenges facing North Carolinians, Governor Stein’s Executive Order No. 8 entitled “Reproductive Rights” shows front and center just where his priorities lie—with enshrining a culture of death in North Carolina as best he can,” said Ashley Vaughan of North Carolina values.
She continued:
The Order is legally problematic in several ways. First, it flies in the face of the Full Faith and Credit Clause of our federal Constitution. That constitutional provision requires states to recognize the laws and judgments of other states, because it attempts to protect from prosecution medical personnel who violate the laws of another state. Shield laws run roughshod over this constitutional protection. Secondly, Stein’s attempt to make North Carolina a shield law state is illegal because his actions exceed his executive authority.
Shield laws are particularly egregious with the rise of the abortion drug cartel. Enacted in several states, these laws protect doctors, pharmacies and website operators from facing prosecution or civil liability for violating abortion laws in other states.
North Carolinians will be hurt by these shield laws. Our law prohibits the shipment of abortion pills into the State unless the shipment is in compliance with our informed consent, waiting period, and parental consent requirements. Yet, reportedly, we have 2,000 shipments coming to N.C. each month from these states from doctors, pharmacies and websites operating with no consequences. Stein is attempting to make North Carolina a participant in this cartel by providing the same protection for abortion pill providers legally affiliated with the State.
Finally, the order directs NCDHHS to provide “information about the differences between healthcare providers and other entities that offer services to pregnant women including differences in available services and applicable patient privacy laws.” But North Carolina already has a specific statute which dictates the content of that information. By adding to those requirements, Stein is overstepping his authority as governor. Further, this provision is unnecessary because all pregnancy care centers in North Carolina comply with existing privacy laws.
Today Josh Stein showed North Carolina that he is committed to use his office as Governor—and is even willing to go beyond the powers assigned to that office—to advance an extreme abortion agenda that harms North Carolina’s families and future.
Governor Stein’s measures build upon former Governor Roy Cooper’s 2022 order, which already provided full legal refuge for anyone who goes to another state for an abortion.
Unlike most Southern states, North Carolina does not protect babies from abortions – in part because its governor has not been pro-life since the Dobbs decision and courts have not upheld the limited pro-life protections such as a 12-week abortion ban.
wHY THE HELL ARE SO MANY JEWS IN FAVOR OF KILLING THEIR CHILDREN??? Makes NO SENSE!
Uh oh, you’ve done it now.
Interesting if not sickening that a Jew is OK with extermination. They didn’t learn very well.
You know two Jews started NARAL The National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws
Jews Bernard Nathanson and Lawrence Lader. Later those two got Jewess Betty Friedan to talk about abortion in her SECOND EDITION of “The Feminine Mystique” If you can get a hold of a First Edition you will see she hardly talks about abortion at all. However after those two guys get a hold of her that is all she talks about.
Bernard Nathanson later converted to be a Catholic and became Prolife. The other two? Pray for them.
I am soooo tempted to post that on Facebook.
I double dare you
Infanticide, simply stated.
So, what is Josh Stein doing for the hurricane victims in his state?
Dems gaslighting their base.
Some day he will give an account.......
Squat.
They are hedonists first, democrats second (because they are hedonists), and “jews” only in the ethnic sense of the word. They evidence no allegiance to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Nothing. He’s insuring he will be aborted next election.
Seventy million and counting but yet Israel is accused of genocide.
We might not like it, but it IS a state issue now. If the folks in the state don’t like it, they can do something about it.
“I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways. Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.”— Psalm 95.
At all.
Obviously.
I hope he loses in a landslide, Josh Stein.
