Various medical and physician groups have come out against a new bill in Raleigh that would restrict abortion after 12 weeks into a pregnancy. The North Carolina Medical Society, the North Carolina Obstetrical and Gynecological Society, among other groups have voiced opposition to the "Care for Women, Child, and Families Act."
"This bill is not medically sound. I think there's a lot of misinformation,' Dr. Beverly Gray, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Duke University, said on WCNC's Flashpoint.
Gray said her colleagues tried to convince lawmakers to keep the state's current 20-week restriction, without success.
Despite the broad opposition in the medical community, some doctors support the new abortion restrictions.
