Abortions would be almost entirely banned after about six weeks of pregnancy under a bill debated early into Wednesday morning by the South Carolina House in a development that follows months of Republicans in the chamber insisting instead on a near-total ban that the state Senate recently rejected.
However, a final vote would have to wait until later in the day after the House moved to reconvene at 10 a.m. while the computer system rebooted. The proposed ban brings the two GOP-dominated chambers close to resolving a disagreement that epitomizes the intra-Republican debates unfolding nationwide how far to restrict access since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade last year.
“Once you get what you want, the real work begins," Doan said. "What are the on-the-ground implications for pregnant people’s healthcare? What are the legal implications, the public health implications, the political implications?"The North Carolina General Assembly overrode the Democratic governor's veto on a 12-week abortion ban that Republicans quickly advanced after securing veto-proof majorities in both chambers.
“For those folks, the politics were more important than the policy,” said Grooms, whose biography lists awards from anti-abortion and conservative Christian groups. Senators believe that several tweaks and a new court makeup will allow the measure to withstand anticipated legal challenges. “We are going to make it hurt if they're going to force this on us,” Democratic Rep. Beth Bernstein said Tuesday morning, flanked by dozens of supporters with signs reading “BANS OFF OUR BODIES.”
