In a surprising development last week, the South Carolina Supreme Court stopped the state from enforcing a law banning abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy.
a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would have allowed the legislature to ban abortion.that “The Kansas vote implies that around 65 percent of voters nationwide would reject a similar initiative to roll back abortion rights, including in more than 40 of the 50 states.”, which found that the state’s constitution protects the right to an abortion.
That ruling is instructive about the role that state constitutions will play in the ongoing battle over abortion.who challenged a 2015 state law that prohibited dilation and evacuation, an abortion procedure frequently used in the second trimester of pregnancy.
That provision states that “[a]ll men are possessed of equal and inalienable natural rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” “Among the rights,” the court said, “is the right of personal autonomy,” which it called “fundamental.” That right, it went on to say “allows a woman to make her own decisions regarding her body, health, family formation, and family life — decisions that can include whether to continue a pregnancy.
