By Associated Press, Updated: Saturday, May 5, 1:47 PM

RALEIGH, N.C. — Former President Bill Clinton has recorded an audio advertisement opposing North Carolina’s proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

The ad will be pushed to the phones of hundreds of thousands of North Carolina voters beginning Monday. In it, Clinton urges voters to oppose the amendment, saying it won’t change North Carolina’s statutory ban on gay marriages.
