North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) “voiced reservations about the abortion bill before the legislature – just days after his administration shuttered its second abortion clinic in a three-month period for safety reasons,” the Charlotte Observer reports.
McCrory “said the abortion question was far more complicated than partisans on either side have portrayed it, and that the bill that passed the Senate last week would require more study.”
