Mark Robinson says wife had abortion in new ad in NC governor’s race

North Carolina GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson appears to change his stance on abortion after a new ad, which outlined his wife's own abortion story.

“Thirty years ago, my wife and I made a very difficult decision. We had an abortion,” he said in the advertisement shared online.

Robinson, who currently serves as the Tar Heel State's lieutenant governor, was choked up when he said the medical procedure was a “solid pain” between him and his wife that they “never spoke” about.
