State lawmakers plan to introduce new legislation on abortion this session.
The State Senate Medical Affairs subcommittee continued discussions about Senate Bill 323 – a proposed near-total abortion ban.
A bill that would allow judges to sentence women who get abortions to decades in prison and could restrict the use of IUDs and in vitro fertilization goes before a small group of South Carolina senators Tuesday.
The bill faces a long legislative path and uncertain prospects, even if it clears the state Senate subcommittee that’s reviewing it.
In early October, a proposed Senate Bill seeking a total abortion ban for South Carolina will have a public sub-committee hearing.
On Wednesday, May 14, the South Carolina Supreme Court has made a decision on Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit against the state.
A near-total abortion ban was defeated in South Carolina with the help of the only three Republican women in the Senate, but after Tuesday’s primary, they’re losing their election bids.
A coalition of community and advocacy organizers from across the state are launching a petition campaign to repeal the most recent abortion ban in South Carolina.
