North Carolina Democrat Under Fire Over Anti-Abortion Votes

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : They did refer HuffPost to his vote against a 2015 bill that tripled the mandatory waiting period for abortions, and shared the first page of a 2008 questionnaire that Davis completed while seeking the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina's Action Fund.
51% : The bill also made permanent a provision in the budget denying future state funding for the provision of "family planning" services to groups such as Planned Parenthood that also perform abortions.
48% : "With Roe literally in front of the Supreme Court, and the possibility that we could see it overturned, we need to have champions at every level, who will defend reproductive freedom, who will defend access to abortion, and who will codify Roe at the national level," she said.
45% : "Don's record -- defunding Planned Parenthood, working with Republicans to pass anti-abortion laws, and obstructing Governor [Roy] Cooper's agenda -- make it clear that he's a Democrat in registration only and risks alienating the base that we need to turn out to win this seat," Smith's campaign manager, Morris Katz, said in a statement.
