In a recent interview, second tier North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Dale Folwell said “no” when asked if “he would define an embryo as a person and if that embryo were destroyed to charge the person with murder or manslaughter.”
Front runner Mark Robinson, who has said he wants to ban all abortions with no exceptions and that life begins at conception — the same argument the Alabama Supreme Court used to ban IVF — has been completely silent on this issue.
“Given Mark Robinson’s extreme anti-abortion rights record and the fact he will win his primary, North Carolinians deserve to know if he agrees with the Alabama court decision that fertilized embryos are people and deserve personhood rights,” said American Bridge spokesperson Philip Shulman.
