South Carolina advances 6-week abortion ban
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The measure, which passed mostly along party lines with a vote of 82 to 33, is a heavily amended version of a ban that the state Senate passed in February. It failed then because House Republicans wanted to instead push through a near-total abortion ban, which five women in the state Senate banded together to block. A similar six-week ban passed last year was ruled unconstitutional by the South Carolina Supreme Court in January. South Carolina is one of several U.S. states where Republican lawmakers are considering aggressive abortion restrictions this week over strong Democratic opposition. Some of the state senators who supported it originally have expressed opposition to the House version, leaving its fate uncertain.
