The South Carolina Senate approved a bill Tuesday that would ban most abortions after around six weeks of pregnancy — before most people know they are pregnant – and sent it to the governor who has promised to sign it.
Vicki Ringer, the director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, said after Tuesday's vote that her organization would file a request for a temporary restraining order once the governor signs the measure. Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey told reporters that he was confident that the law would be upheld. backed off a proposal to ban abortion almost entirely at conception. Senators had not been able to get the votes for that proposal after three different tries.
“One does not have to abandon their faith … to agree the government should not be telling that woman what to do with her body," Vice President Kamala Harris said in an interview with Noticias Telemundo. “We in the South Carolina Legislature are not God. We do not know what’s going on in somebody else’s life. We do not have the right to make decisions for someone else,” Shealy said.
The Senate's 15 Democrats, unified against both abortion bans, have largely let the Republican majority debate the issue among themselves. Opponents argue that South Carolina's high maternal mortality rates — with even poorer outcomes among Black patients — would grow worse under the new restrictions.
