The North Carolina Senate Thursday passed Senate Bill 20–also known as the Care for Women, Children, and Families Act–which would ban most abortions occurring after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Current North Carolina law allows abortions up to 20 weeks. While the bill reduces that 20 week limit to 12 weeks, the bill still allows abortions anytime if a qualified physician determines a medical emergency exists.
