☆ Republican Sandy Senn Wants Voters to Have a Say on Abortion - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-11-20 | by ( Jane Coaston | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Republicans have struggled politically with the issue of abortion since the overturning of Roe v. Wade — a point proven several times over with anti-abortion measures failing in relatively conservative states. Just this month, Ohio added abortion rights to the State Constitution and Republicans lost control of the Virginia Statehouse. In South Carolina this year, State Senator Sandy Senn was one of three Republicans who, along with a fellow Democratic senator and an independent senator, filibustered efforts to severely restrict abortion in the state. The “sister senators,” as they call themselves, were ultimately unsuccessful in preventing a six-week abortion ban from taking effect. Jane Coaston: How did you react to the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and how did you think Republicans at the state level would react?

A South Carolina judge temporarily halted a law banning most abortions after six weeks. Five female lawmakers, named the "Sister Senators," previously filibustered a similar abortion ban. Earlier this year, South Carolina proposed the death penalty for women who get abortions, Insider previously reported. Vicki Ringer, the director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic in South Carolina, called the signing of the bill "unconscionable" on Twitter. Earlier in the week, she wrote, "Twenty-seven Republican men (all of them) voted today to ban abortion in SC.
☆ Women state senators cross party lines to block proposed South Carolina abortion ban

[1/2] South Carolina State Senator Sandy Senn makes a last minute argument shortly before the Senate passed a new ban on abortion at the state legislature in Columbia, South Carolina, U.S. September 8, 2022. The group's successful filibuster of the near-total abortion ban came on the same day that the legislature in Nebraska defeated a ban on most abortions after six weeks by just one vote. In Kansas last summer, voters roundly defeated a measure that would have made it easier to ban abortion in that state. South Carolina Republicans have tried three times this legislative session to ban abortion, according to Senn, who favors a statewide referendum on the issue. The vote to "continue," or delay, discussion of the proposed ban passed by just one vote on Thursday, state records show.
☆ South Carolina and Nebraska lawmakers voted down abortion bans, exposing a chasm on the issue for Republicans
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
— Abortion bans in deeply conservative Nebraska and South Carolina both fell short of advancing in close legislative votes amid heated debates among Republicans, yet another sign that abortion is becoming a difficult issue for the GOP. In South Carolina, lawmakers voted 22-21 to shelve a near-total abortion ban for the rest of the year. Katie Glenn, the state policy director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, characterized the failure of both proposed abortion bans as disappointing. The failure to advance abortion restrictions has confounded conservatives who dominate both Nebraska and South Carolina and exposed a chasm on the issue of abortion within the GOP. Riepe and some Republicans across the country have noted evidence pointing to abortion bans as unpopular with a majority of Americans.
