North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has said he’d like abortion to be banned in all circumstances, including rape and incest.
He has frequently likened abortion to murder and said that once a woman is pregnant, her body is no longer her own.
Now, as a candidate for governor, Robinson wants you to forget he ever said that. And he doesn’t seem to have much memory of it himself.
New reporting from CNN — which recently joined the growing list of national news stories about Robinson’s extremism — details how Robinson’s past statements on abortion contradict what he is saying now.
