Legislation banning most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy will become law in North Carolina after the state’s Republican-controlled General Assembly successfully overrode the Democratic governor’s veto late Tuesday.

The march has been held annually since January 1974 — a year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision established a nationwide right to abortion.

The Georgia Democrat who admittedly once strongly opposed abortion is now defending reproductive freedom with the fervor of a lifelong pro-choice activist.

The 71-year-old niece of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and daughter of slain civil rights activist, Rev. A.D. King, said, “Today, the Supreme Court has rightfully overturned that decision.”

The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday’s outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.

Soon after Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris as his running mate, Republicans courted Christian conservative voters that were against or lukewarm to the idea of supporting Donald Trump for reelection by branding the Biden-Harris ticket as the “most pro-abortion ticket in Democratic history.”
