The S.C. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments for the new Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act on Tuesday, June 27.  

In January, the state Supreme Court struck down the former heartbeat law by a 3-2 vote and concluded the law violated the S.C. constitution’s right-to-privacy clause. Some key factors have changed since that decision:  

1. Roe v. Wade has been overturned with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision by the U.S. Supreme Court;  

2. A new justice has been appointed to the S.C. Supreme Court; and  

3. The new heartbeat law was written specifically to address the court’s issues regarding the former legislation. 

If it can withstand legal proceedings at the Supreme Court, the Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act could save hundreds of unborn children every month from abortion and stop most out-of-state women from seeking abortions in S.C. 

Please continue to pray for the cause of life in South Carolina and pray that our five justices will rule to defend the most vulnerable in our society – the unborn.
