    The Carolina Journal makes a wide sweeping evaluation of the news that most effects us here in North Carolina, and is distilled, here on BCN, for your clear understanding by the electronic means of video broadcast.



    This week on The Debrief:

    - The North Carolina House passed legislation this week that would ban abortions after the first trimester with some exceptions, and expand the window to 24 weeks for life-limiting abnormalities. It also spends $160 million on things like childcare, birth control programs, and extended family leave for state employees.

    - In a trio of rulings recently, the North Carolina Supreme Court restored the state's voter ID law and more.

    - The N.C. House also passed a bill this week called the Youth Health Protection Act that would prohibit healthcare workers from performing gender reassigning surgeries on minors.

    - Plus, Opinion Editor David Larson analyzes policy wins for GOP. Does it signal NC's rise as conservative superpower?
