QUESTION: The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling this spring that overturned Roe v. Wade. The legal cutoff for abortion in North Carolina is now 20 weeks. Do you believe the 20-week cutoff is too restrictive, not restrictive enough, or just right? As a state lawmaker, would you support legislation that further limits or prohibits abortion in North Carolina, or punishes/criminalizes abortion providers or patients? CYNTHIA BALL: The cut-off is too restrictive. I would NOT support legislation that further limits/prohibits or punishes/criminalizes providers or patients.
