NC Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson Criticized for Anti-Birth Control Comments

Robinson's remarks, captured in a resurfaced video, align with broader GOP efforts to restrict reproductive rights under Trump's Project 2025.

Mark Robinson, North Carolina's Lt. Governor and GOP gubernatorial candidate, disparaged birth control and sex education in a 2022 church appearance.
Robinson's comments include telling women to 'get this under control,' while gesturing to his groin, and advocating for abstinence until ready for childbirth.
The remarks have sparked backlash and are seen as reflective of the GOP's Project 2025, which aims to restrict reproductive rights and access to contraception.
Robinson has a history of making controversial statements, including anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and Holocaust denial.
Democratic opponent Josh Stein is currently leading in the polls, with Robinson's comments further polarizing voters.
