On Super Tuesday, abortion is driving Democrats to the polls in North Carolina

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nicole Sidman walked up a long driveway in a hilly suburban neighborhood of Charlotte, campaign flyers in hand, ready to talk about an issue that prompted her to run in the Democratic primary for the state legislature this year.
A chubby white Chihuahua named Frankie came running when she rang the bell. Rebekah Rubenstein opened her door.
“I know who you are!” Rubenstein told Sidman. Rubenstein, who has three daughters, quickly told Sidman she plans to vote for her and will bring her 8-year-old daughter to the polls to be part of a moment she described as critical.
“For my children to be able to have the right — now, in the future, any time — to make the choices about their own bodies is essential,” Rubenstein said. “So that’s 100% in the forefront of my vote.”
