From the article:
A bill making its way through the North Carolina Legislature states it would be permissible for a person to use deadly force on a woman they believe is seeking an abortion, something Democrats have branded as “wildly extreme.”
The legislation, now only backed by Republican State Representative Keith Kidwell, would classify abortion as first-degree murder and open up the right of another person to defend the life of the unborn baby as they see fit.
“Any person has the right to defend his or her own life or the life of another person, even by the use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person,” the bill reads. “The State has an interest and a duty to defend innocent persons from willful destruction of their lives and to punish those who take the lives of persons, born or unborn, who have not committed any crime punishable by death.”

Nothing says being pro-unborn-child like murdering the mother while she’s pregnant. That’d really protect the fetus.
Who am I kidding? It’s really a cover hoping that someone will storm in and kill the doctors.
If someone attempts to use lethal force against a pregnant woman who is seeking an abortion, then it would stand to reason that that person is threatening the life of the fetus and can thus be stopped by the pregnant woman or a bystander with lethal force
That was my thought as well. Arms race with abortion protesters. Hooray!
The enemy must be protected, lest the enemy of that enemy be threatened by the enemy.
