Robinson, who is running for governor as a Republican, has publicly backed the current ban in the state, which restricts abortion after 12 weeks.

A Democratic group has released new audio of North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who is running for governor, saying that he wants to get abortion restrictions down to “zero” weeks.

In the audio, which the group said was recorded on Sept. 3 at a Robinson campaign event in Troy, N.C., a woman asked Robinson about his stance on abortion and why he was supporting North Carolina’s current 12-week ban on the procedure.

Robinson replied by saying, “That 12 weeks, exceptions for rape and incest … I’m not going to say it’s reasonable. But my faith allows me to live with that, because that’s where the consensus is. Do I want to continue to lower it? You better know it. I would love to get down to six weeks. And I’d like to get down to zero. I would like to push it back as far as we could and eliminate as many abortions as we can.”

      I’m really amazed at how many people think post term abortions actually occur. And not just from Trumpers. I was speaking with a lady the other day, college educated, who said it happens. I was like “so murder? You think doctors are murdering babies right after they’re born?” Thankfully some nurse friends also involved in the conversation set her straight that that doesn’t happen and late term abortions are because the baby is deemed nonviable and/or there’s a serious health risk to the mother but babies are not just killed after they’re born.

        Sure they are killed, they are tossed into the dumpster behind the 7/11 since the mother cant afford the baby.

        I am making humor of a dark situation but my morals allow for it so fuck it.

          This comment was the equivalent of convenience store fried foods. Didn’t do much for anyone, wasn’t in particularly good taste, was a little stale…

          But just like convenience store food…

          I’ll be damned if I didn’t enjoy it just a little bit.
