Far right “pro-life” North Carolina Lt Governor Mark Robinson, an expected 2024 gubernatorial candidate, admitted in a 2012 Facebook post he paid for an abortion in 1989, WRAL reports. It’s unknown if this contradicts anything Robinson has said publicly on the issue and it does certainly read as if sincerely regretted the abortion, so any potential political impact is unclear at best.
“What a silly argument! 99% of abortions in this country are done ‘on demand’ meaning the woman had CONSENSUAL sex, got pregnant, and simply does not want to have the child. Everybody knows theres exceptions to rules and in the case that you mentioned that should be up to the woman. But to have abortion ‘mills’ that kill the unborn at will is shameful and as sure as I am writing this if we allow this to become an accepted part of our society WE WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF GOD!!! And I’m not on a ‘high horse’!! I’m not saying abortion is wrong cause I said so it’s wrong cause God says so. It’s wrong when others do it and it was wrong when I paid for it to be done to my unborn child in 1989,” wrote Robinson in response to another Facebook user.
