NBC News reports:
North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, a Democrat who is running for governor against Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, plans to launch his first two television ads on Tuesday, one of which attacks his opponents’ views on abortion in the high-stakes battleground race.
“Abortion in this country is not about protecting the lives of mothers,” Robinson says in the clip used in the ad. “It is about killing the child because you weren’t responsible enough to keep your skirt down.”
Mike Lonergan, the communications director for Robinson’s campaign, said Robinson is “pro-life” because of the “painful and difficult” experience he and his wife had when they decided to get an abortion in 1989. Robinson has since said the decision to have an abortion was “wrong.”
Read the full article. Robinson, a self-avowed Christian nationalist, has said that he wants legislation that reflects “biblical law.” He first came to our attention in 2021 when he declared that LGBTQ people are “filth.”

Gov., tells Christians to stop reading the news: “When Jesus Christ comes back and is swinging that double-edged sword and riding that white horse, ABC can write all the stories they want to, but their entity is going down in flames.” pic.twitter.com/gdOFfQ7b7s
