An original ruling by the lower court said the "20-week threshold" would make some "pre-viability abortions" illegal, which would be in violation of the Supreme Court's 1992 ruling in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Several pro-life organizations and more than a dozen Republican states supported North Carolina in the effort, according to Fox News. Â
House Bill 453, which was introduced in the General Assembly this week, is known as the 'Human Non-Discrimination and No Eugenics Act'. The bill aims to restrict women from getting abortions based on race, sex, or a prenatal diagnosis of Down's syndrome.Â
