Abortion Bans Face Defeat in Conservative States
TL;DR Summary
Abortion bans in Nebraska and South Carolina failed to advance in close votes amid heated debates among Republicans, exposing the chasm on the issue of abortion within the GOP. In Nebraska, an effort to ban abortion at about the sixth week of pregnancy fell one vote short of breaking a filibuster. In South Carolina, lawmakers voted 22-21 to shelve a near-total abortion ban for the rest of the year. The bans’ staunchest supporters have promised political retribution.
