Esquire: North Carolina Has a Brutal New Abortion Ban Thanks to One Woman's Betrayal

A former aide says Rep. Tricia Cotham was mad that Democrats and Planned Parenthood didn't support her enough considering her pro-choice credentials. So she became a Republican.

John — Meet Rep. Tricia Cotham, who in April switched from being a Democrat to a right-wing Republican in the NC state legislature. Will you chip in right now to help North Carolina Democrats defeat this turncoat?

Her treacherous move gave NC House Republicans a veto-proof majority, allowing them to override the Democratic governor’s veto on one of the nation’s harshest abortion ban laws. Cotham cast the deciding vote. 

Cotham’s vote means North Carolinians are now barred from having an abortion after 12 weeks. 

However, while MAGA Republicans are high-fiving at this latest move gutting abortion rights, NC Democrats URGENTLY need your help to fight back.

Democrats are preparing to defeat this turncoat in her blue district — she won as a Democrat in 2022 by 19 points over her GOP opponent — while taking on other vulnerable Republican lawmakers in 2024 over their anti-abortion stance. 

We’re rushing resources to help state and local Democrats take on — and defeat — these extremist nutjobs. Our allies on the ground need your help NOW. Can you chip in?

North Carolina is considered a “purple state” John. As the Democratic governor in North Carolina is term-limited and retiring, the state is a must-win for Democrats up and down the 2024 ballot.

Please pitch in to send Tricia Cotham and other anti-abortion extremists the message that they WILL pay for their reprehensible actions. Help defeat far-right MAGA extremists like Cotham in North Carolina and states nationwide.

Thanks for stepping up.
