North Carolina Motorcycle Abortion Bill Set To Get Full House Vote

Posted: 07/10/2013 10:58 pm EDT | Updated: 07/10/2013 11:32 pm EDT

WASHINGTON -- The North Carolina House is set to vote on a controversial anti-abortion bill on Thursday, one day after its provisions were attached to unrelated motorcycle safety legislation without advanced notice to the public or Democratic lawmakers.

Thursday's session begins at 11 a.m. and will be open to the public. There will be two hours of debate for Democrats and one hour for Republicans before representatives vote. The schedule was worked out by Democrats and the House Speaker Thom Tillis (R), after Republicans originally wanted to put the bill on the House floor on Wednesday afternoon.

"The Democrats went to the speaker of the House and suggested that we would be willing to confine our argument tomorrow to one day as opposed to North Carolina's tradition of a two-day bill, (if) they would be willing to postpone it until (Thursday) so that the public would at least get notice of what was happening and be able to comment," explained state Rep. Rick Glazier (D).

Legislators and activists who spoke with The Huffington Post said they expect large protests at the General Assembly. Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina's Paige Johnson was shopping for pink motorcycle helmets on Wednesday afternoon.
