The South Carolina Supreme Court struck down Thursday a ban on abortion after cardiac activity is detected — typically around six weeks — ruling the restriction violates the state constitution's right to privacy.
after cardiac activity is detected — typically around six weeks — ruling the restriction violates the state constitution's right to privacy.
"The State unquestionably has the authority to limit the right of privacy that protects women from state interference with her decision, but any such limitation must be reasonable and it must be meaningful in that the time frames imposed must afford a woman sufficient time to determine she is pregnant and to take reasonable steps to terminate that pregnancy.
"We are encouraged by South Carolina's Supreme Court ruling today on the state's extreme and dangerous abortion ban," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre."Women should be able to make their own decisions about their bodies." The justices' limited ruling left the door open for future changes. The state House and Senate failed to agree on additional restrictions during this past summer's special session on abortion. Still, a small but growing group of conservative lawmakers have vowed to push that envelope once more this legislative session — despite some Republican leaders' insistence no agreement is possible.
