South Carolina’s Near Total Abortion Ban Upheld


“The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled Wednesday the state’s new six-week abortion ban is constitutional, allowing the law to go into effect,” the Columbia State reports.

“The 4-to-1 ruling comes after a new justice was elected and the General Assembly rewrote a previous six-week law. Earlier this year, the previous iteration of the court had ruled 3-2 against a different version of a six-week abortion ban, saying at the time that it violated a woman’s constitutional right to privacy.”

“The South Carolina Supreme Court, made up of five male justices, in June heard oral arguments over whether a revived six-week abortion ban in South Carolina violates a woman’s right to privacy under the state’s constitution. Before Wednesday’s decision, the state’s 20-week abortion law was in place, making South Carolina an unlikely abortion destination in the Southeast.”
