Berger is taking a shot at Governor Cooper and Democrats right after the Senate voted to override the veto.
"They will do things that make no sense, that cost a lot of money, because they depend so much on the abortion lobby for funding their campaigns," said Berger.

ABC11 reached out to Berger's Office to get its take on the possibility of a lawsuit. We're still waiting on a response.
