Tomorrow, the S.C. House will take up S. 474: the Fetal Heartbeat Act. The Senate passed this bill in February to protect the lives of unborn children starting at six-weeks post conception, or upon detection of a baby’s heartbeat.
After the Senate failed to pass the Human Life Protection Act (H. 3774) at the end of the legislative season, the House is now taking up the Fetal Heartbeat Act in a special session.
Currently, Georgia and Florida both have stricter abortion regulations than our state, and North Carolina's General Assembly is about to override Gov. Roy Cooper's veto on a 12-week abortion ban.
Abortion is permitted in this state until five and a half months (24 weeks) post conception. We must prevent South Carolina from becoming the abortion destination of the southeast.
