@NC_Governor what is NC doing to protect abortion rights in our state? We need this to be a top priority.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization upheld a law from Mississippi that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

We’re fortunate to live in a state with beautiful natural resources and our 41 state parks saw more visits than ever last year. We must maintain and improve these amazing parks so millions more people can enjoy all North Carolina has to offer.
