"SC Supreme Court Upholds Controversial 6-Week Abortion Ban, Allowing it to Take Effect"

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster celebrates a South Carolina Supreme Court ruling upholding the state's Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act, calling it a victory for the sanctity of life. The ruling declared the law constitutional and lifted an injunction that had blocked its enforcement. The state's high court had previously found the 2021 version of the bill unconstitutional, leading to revisions by the General Assembly. The new law generally prohibits abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat, with limited exceptions for the health of the mother, fatal fetal anomalies, rape, and incest.
