As a result of this decision, state abortion laws since the ruling are all over the spectrum. With many states enacting abortion restrictions or bans since the ruling, the states that still provide access to legal abortion have seen a predictable influx of people traveling from other states to access abortion services. Findings from a study by the Society of Family Planning's #WeCount project show that, between April and August of 2022, North Carolina was the state with the highest increase in abortions, with a 37% increase.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/local/post-roe-north-carolina-has-become-abortion-landing-place/275-0d5df947-b04c-4e05-b366-b02bf096006bTwo people were found dead at a home on Sunday in what police say was a murder-suicide.According to the Gaston County Police Department, officers were called to Mountain Meadows Drive west of Dallas, N.C. around 5:55 a.m. on Sunday for a shooting call.When they arrived, police found two people dead inside the home. Police identified Michelle Walter and Johnnie Walter, Jr. as the people found dead.
