A North Carolina lawmaker is going viral on TikTok after his office allegedly told a female constituent in an email to “move to China” after she raised concerns about the state’s abortion policy. The constituent, who asked to remain anonymous due to concerns for her safety, told NBC News on Saturday that she sent an email to Republican state Sen. Danny Britt on Nov. 7 to say that her family “desperately wants to expand.”

“But because of You, [President-elect Donald] Trump and the republican party and the strict abortion laws in this country we cannot,” she wrote in the email, a copy of which was shared with NBC News. “Thanks for ruining our futures! You all are terrible people.”

In response, Britt’s legislative assistant Camille McDougald allegedly told the constituent to consider moving to another country.

“Thank you so much for the email. I am not quite certain how we are preventing you from expanding your family. I suggest you move to China immediately and see how that works out for you,” the email reads. “If for some reason that fails Russia is nice in the winter and Venezuela in the summer.”

but she's afraid to get pregnant because if the fetus she carries has a 100% fatal malformation, she'll have trouble getting an abortion. And she WANTS kids.

Instead of getting a sympathetic response, she gets told "move to China, see how that works out for ya."

It's one of the ONLY things the CCP does right.
