The governor of North Carolina has rejected a bill related to abortion, but the Republican-controlled legislature may still overturn the decision.

The legislation proposed by the GOP in North Carolina to restrict most abortions to a 12-week limit was vetoed by the Democratic governor.
On Saturday, Roy Cooper publicly rejected the bill during a rally held outside the North Carolina Legislative Building.
Republican Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson of North Carolina has initiated a campaign to take the place of Democratic Governor Roy Cooper. Despite the veto, Republican legislators intend to introduce an override motion to pass the abortion limitations without the governor's approval.
Cooper stated at the pro-choice rally that if a single Republican in the House or Senate fulfills their promise to safeguard women's reproductive health, the ban can be prevented. The North Carolina legislature has passed an abortion ban for pregnancies beyond 12 weeks, but the Democratic governor has pledged to veto it. Cooper urged the audience to take action by making calls, sending emails, and writing letters.
Instruct them to maintain this veto.
The Democrats made unsuccessful attempts to send the measure back to committee through various parliamentary maneuvers during a lengthy debate. Senate Minority Leader Dan Blue of Wake County expressed surprise that all 20 members of the Democratic caucus spoke about the bill on the floor, and urged people to ask the Republican leadership to stop it. The abortion vote was deemed by Blue as one of the most significant actions taken in the chamber. The Associated Press provided additional information for this report.
