Cooper vetoes Down syndrome abortion bill
Matthew Burns, WRAL — Calling it “unprecedented government intrusion” in the doctor-patient relationship, Gov. Roy Cooper on Friday vetoed legislation that would present a woman from getting an abortion in North Carolina simply because of a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. Under the bill, the doctor would have to submit an attestation to the state that they did not hear or have reason to believe that a woman requested an abortion because of a Down syndrome diagnosis or the presumed race of the fetus. The doctor would also be required to submit any testing results for Down syndrome.
