RALEIGH: Today, Governor Roy Cooper vetoed the following bill:
Senate Bill 359: “AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION ACT.”
Gov. Cooper shared the following statement on his veto of Senate Bill 359:
“Laws already protect newborn babies and this bill is an unnecessary interference between doctors and their patients. This needless legislation would criminalize doctors and other healthcare providers for a practice that simply does not exist.”
