Democratic governors are ‘last line of defense’ for abortion

Volunteers with the Triangle Abortion Access Coalition wave to cars passing under the American Tobacco Trail Bridge over Interstate 40 in Durham, N.C., Friday, June 24, 2022, the afternoon that the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade was handed down. The volunteers are occupying the bridge throughout the day. "We're sharing the knowledge and news that abortion is still legal in this state. And we will fight to keep it legal," one advocate said. (Angelina Katsanis/The News & Observer via AP)
