South Carolina Republicans fall short in bid for near-total abortion ban
Washington PostAPR 4 2022
Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, women's reproductive rights have been spiraling into a state of legal crisis, and South Carolina - which has been subjected to a flood of confusing and often conflicting laws - is no exception. This latest bill is just another attempt to confuse and push the state closer to a total assault on women's rights.
Through the overturning of Roe v. Wade, SCOTUS has made it clear that states have the constitutional right to determine the legality of abortion and that's exactly what's happening in South Carolina. The state has a responsibility to protect the unborn, and this bill will go a long way to doing this.
