South Carolina Lawmakers Approve Near-Total Abortion Ban

HeadlineAug 31, 2022

In South Carolina, lawmakers in the Republican-led House have approved a near-total ban on abortion except in cases of pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Meanwhile, in Indiana, abortion clinics have sued to block Indiana’s near-total abortion ban, which is set to go into effect on September 15. Clinics say the law “will infringe on Hoosiers’ right to privacy [and] violate Indiana’s guarantee of equal privileges.”
