Robinson, who is running for governor as a Republican, has publicly backed the current ban in the state, which restricts abortion after 12 weeks.
A Democratic group has released new audio of North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who is running for governor, saying that he wants to get abortion restrictions down to “zero” weeks.
In the audio, which the group said was recorded on Sept. 3 at a Robinson campaign event in Troy, N.C., a woman asked Robinson about his stance on abortion and why he was supporting North Carolina’s current 12-week ban on the procedure.
Robinson replied by saying, “That 12 weeks, exceptions for rape and incest … I’m not going to say it’s reasonable. But my faith allows me to live with that, because that’s where the consensus is. Do I want to continue to lower it? You better know it. I would love to get down to six weeks. And I’d like to get down to zero. I would like to push it back as far as we could and eliminate as many abortions as we can.”
I would like to push it back as far as we could and eliminate as many abortions as we can.
Funny thing about that: abortion bans don’t actually reduce the number of abortions; it just reduces the number of safe ones.
The movie “Revolutionary Road” demonstrates this very well. And some other topics relavent to today.
Oh look, it’s another piece of Republican shit. So fucking tired of these brain dead fuck stains.
Don’t forget he’s also Christian!
I see my home state is still sending its best pieces of shit.
Supposedly Gov. Cooper took his name from Harris’ choices for VP because he was concerned Robinson would try to take control of the state while he was away.
Any politician want to make an argument against abortion that doesn’t involve “muh faith”? I wish he would explain his plan for the thousands of unwanted children forced to be born that no one wants as a result of his policy choice. I’m sure this guy is totally for free, unlimited birth control also…

I live in NC and have unfortunately been exposed to this guy’s campaign ads on several occasions. While his religion is definitely a factor in his policies, there’s also just good old-fashioned misogyny. He regularly frames abortions as only being necessary because women “can’t keep their legs closed” and crap like that.
And that’s barely scratching the surface. If you want the abridged version, check out his Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Robinson_(American_politician)#Political_views_and_remarks
The guy is a total nutjob.
As soon as I hear any politician mention faith, I know for a fact whatever they’re trying to do is bullshit and likely immoral. They default to faith when there is no real justification for whatever they’re trying to push. They always try to claim that because of their faith, that it is inherently moral. As if everything is black and white and grey doesn’t exist at all.
But not everything in their chosen book of faith actually applies to every situation, and some can just be ignored now. But never these sections and those ones aren’t important. So this is black and white, but not other things they decide are related to their faith, those can be a grey area when they want them to be.
I’m not going to say it’s reasonable. But my faith allows me to live with that
“I don’t care that I’m wrong.”
Zero weeks just sets an unreasonable standard for fecundity. Oh, you boned, and no baby, jail. Not that six or twelve is better. Especially when these folks dont actually care about circumstances or reality.
Anyone with a time machine here? Need you to go back to Feb 18, 1968 and talk his mother into terminating her pregnancy.
Does he realize that women are considered pregnant two weeks prior to conceiving?
Shocker: Incel = Super pro life
Easy take when you drop all your loads at the porn shop
What? Mark Robinson isn’t an incel…
Him and his wife have literally had an abortion…
He’s just a hypocrite.
Wow, that’s so much worse!
I’d honestly never heard of him until the recent news from his favorite naughty shop
Yeah, I was gonna say… isn’t this the asshole that had his wife in an ad talking about her abortion that they decided having together??? So he’s calling his wife a slut who couldn’t keep her legs closed, got it. Please tell me this misogynist hypocrite idiot has 0 traction among women voters, dear God please
May the Lord make him pregnant then.
Maybe republicans are just easier to manipulate for any wannabe politician.
Mark Robinson has less depth than a leaking kiddie pool. Any politician that brings up their “faith” as often as this piece of shit does to justify their regressive garbage worldview is unserious at best or objectively evil at worst. This room-temperature IQ clown is likely both. Just looked it up and of course he’s best buds with Jason Whitlock. Fucking gross, you’re better than this North Carolina
