  1. Mark Robinson is a disgrace and an embarassment to NC. That Republicans in NC nominated this guy is a joke.

  2. Bro is down by 7 points on average in the polls so he’s just flinging shit and hope it sticks now.

  3. This dude is ridiculous.

    I’m looking forward to casting my vote for Josh Stein for NC Governor.

  4. SeekingHappinessInNY on

    It’s been several years since I was last pregnant, but aren’t you generally four weeks along by your first missed period, if you have a typical cycle? ETA that ‘zero weeks’ is ridiculous, but I also wanted to highlight the extremity of a 6-week ban. If you have an irregular cycle, you could be 5-6 weeks along before your missed period.

  5. InternationalFailure on

    I remember Roy Cooper cited he didn’t want to take up being VP because he feared what this nutbag would do if he got emergency powers – and I honestly say fair.

  6. I lost all faith in N.C. voters a long time ago, but if they put this dreg into office that state is done.

  7. Would be a shame if this showed up on MsM in prime time…. Oh wait it won’t… republicans bought all the fucking news stations

  8. Yes, because he should be making that decision FOR you, ladies. Right? The clock is ticking on you counting as people with rights. Go vote before it is too late!

    **2024 NC DEMOCRATIC ELECTION OVERVIEW:**

    North Carolina is one of the most important swing states in 2024. Not only is it a Presidential swing state with 16 electoral votes, it also has a critical Governor’s race, with Democrat **[Josh Stein](https://ballotpedia.org/Josh_Stein)** running against an [extreme MAGA candidate](https://www.realmarkrobinson.com/). Democratic incumbent **[Donald Davis](https://ballotpedia.org/Donald_Davis)** also has a close race to defend his US House seat (NC-1).

    At the state level, Democrats can break the Republican supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature by flipping one seat in the **[State Senate election](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_State_Senate_elections,_2024)**, and one seat in the **[State House election](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2024)**. There is also one **[State Supreme Court seat](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_Supreme_Court_elections,_2024)** on the ballot. Finally, Democrat **[Mo Green](https://ballotpedia.org/Mo_Green)** is running for Superintendent of Public Instruction against a [MAGA extremist with insane views](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/michele-morrow-north-carolina-superintendent-of-public-instruction_n_65e8985ce4b0170871fc97dd). This position oversees public education for the whole state, so it is an extremely important race.

  9. This is so smart on the Democrats part. Make Robinson so unhinged and hypocritical especially when it came to his wife’s abortion that it disgusts voters into voting for Harris as well. I hope Robinson is so bad that it turns off enough people to vote for Harris as well. That’s also the plan as well.

  10. This makes it pretty clear that he has zero understanding of how pregnancy works, since at zero weeks there is no actual pregnancy.

  11. I wish more reporters would ask these people how the state is going to afford all the babies pushed into the welfare system from lack of abortion. Or the cost of legal enforcement from the inevitable crime all these poor and broken children will cause in the future.

  12. Spurious_Cheetah on

    We’re pretty close to masturbation being “reckless pre-conception abortion” at this point. Similarly, women who don’t do everything they possibly can to get pregnant every month might be guilty of “negligent pre-conception abortion”.

  13. Okay, lemme spell it out reeeaaaallll slow:

    If your faith doesn’t allow this, that’s still fucked but it’s your life. But YOUR faith doesn’t get to dictate the lives of people NOT of YOUR faith.

  14. The more I learn about him, the more I think “GOP is going to let just about any nut jobs they can find to run for office”

  15. Half of all conceptions end in spontaneous termination.

    Ideally you’d require women to report missed periods and account for any accidents.

    “Ma’am Ah’m with the Sheriff’s office and we need to speak to yo daughter, ma’am.

  16. Technical_Surprise80 on

    Parody at this point. At least dems can weed out the most extreme candidates from getting to statewide races. GOP seem to emphasize the crazy (this dumbass Robinson, Kari Lake, etc)

  17. Isn’t this the guy who was a regular at an Adult book store, and bought tons and tons of porn?

    Like this makes me question him on so many levels, intelligence being one cos like who buys porn?

  18. appalachiensis on

    Fun fact: “zero weeks” is when a woman is on her period because the “weeks pregnant” count actually begins on the first day of the menstrual cycle. So “4 weeks pregnant” is actually like, 2? Half of which you weren’t actually pregnant because ovulation had not even occurred. That makes the early bans much more crazy. It’s so obvious these men know nothing about reproduction.

  19. zero weeks in pregnancy math is two weeks before you have the dang sex that got you pregnant, is this reprehensible POS suggesting we bring in the pre-cogs? more importantly is there an oubliette somewhere in North Carolina we can throw this guy into?

  20. Remember, zero weeks is 2 weeks before the sex would even happen from which the woman would get pregnant.
