NC Legislature Overrides Cooper's Vetoes, Enacts Controversial Farm Bill and Anti-DEI, Pro-Lender Laws

North Carolina legislative Republicans have successfully overridden Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's veto on six bills, including measures related to wetlands protection, diversity training, environmental standards, lending rates, and local government audits. The GOP-led legislature has now overturned all eight of Cooper's vetoes this session, taking advantage of their supermajority in both the Senate and the House. These new laws have sparked controversy, with critics arguing that they weaken environmental protections, limit diversity initiatives, hinder sustainable investments, and allow lenders to charge higher interest rates. Supporters claim that the measures promote economic development and fiscal responsibility.

Abortion Bills in North and South Carolina Face Uncertain Fate.

Republican leaders in North Carolina believe they have enough votes to override Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's veto of a bill that would restrict abortion access in the state. The bill would reduce the cutoff for many abortions from 20 weeks to 12 and add other restrictions to women seeking abortions and clinics providing them. Cooper spent last week trying to persuade moderate Republicans to support his cause, but it appears that at least one Republican will vote to override the veto. The bill represents a compromise in a GOP caucus that has maintained wide-ranging views on the issue.

Abortion bill sparks protests and veto in North Carolina.

Rallies are planned in Asheville and Raleigh as North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is set to veto a bill that would limit abortions. The bill would require doctors to provide the same level of care to a baby born alive after an attempted abortion as they would to any other newborn. Supporters of the bill argue it is necessary to protect infants, while opponents say it is an attempt to restrict access to abortion.

North Carolina Implements 12-Week Abortion Ban Despite Criticism.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed a bill that would have banned abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy, calling it "dangerous and wrong for our state." The bill, which was passed by the Republican-controlled legislature, would have made it a felony for doctors to perform abortions after the 12-week mark, except in cases of medical emergencies. Governor Cooper, a Democrat, said the bill would have interfered with the doctor-patient relationship and violated the constitutional rights of women.
