TL;DR Summary

Republicans in North Carolina have introduced a plan to ban abortion in the state after 12 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest, lethal fetal anomalies, and the life of the mother. The legislation was introduced by female Republican lawmakers and is being touted as a "pro-woman" approach. The proposal comes after similar bans failed in South Carolina and Nebraska. North Carolina currently allows abortions until 20 weeks of pregnancy. The bill is expected to face opposition from Democrats and pro-choice advocates.
