A bill that would outlaw abortion in North Carolina is effectively dead. There's no evidence it's supported by key Republican legislative leaders.
"North Carolina GOP is reintroducing a bill that says life begins at conception and anyone who destroys that fertilized egg is guilty of first-degree murder," Qasim Rashid, a human rights attorney, said in a July 18Rashid is a former congressional candidate and has more than 344,000 followers on Twitter.
Particularly for people concerned about abortion rights, the news is alarming. But the tweets are misleading and omit a significant fact: This proposed legislation is more than a year old and died in committee. We found no evidence that it has been reintroduced — the legislature is adjourned — nor did we find any evidence that it’s supported by Republican leaders in the legislature.
So, to some degree, the tweets convey some of the bill’s intent. However, Rashid inaccurately described who filed the bill. It wasn’t filed by the"North Carolina GOP," and it wasn’t even supported by a majority of Republicans.says life should be protected"from conception until death" and that the party opposes the destruction of embryos, party spokesman Jeff Moore said the organization"doesn’t craft legislation" and had no involvement in the bill.
