It’s been two years now since the U.S. Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion care and since then, numerous states – including North Carolina – have moved rapidly to end or greatly restrict abortion access. In 2023, Republican state legislators in Raleigh enacted a law that both bans abortion after the 12 ^th week of gestation and imposes several additional burdensome restrictions for early term abortions.

Recently, NC Newsline caught up with one of the state’s best-informed experts on these subjects, Duke Health OB/GYN Dr. Beverly Gray, to find out.
