South Carolina's 6-week abortion ban blocked for review by Supreme Court.
TL;DR Summary
A South Carolina judge has issued a temporary injunction to pause the state's six-week abortion ban until it can be reviewed by the state Supreme Court. The ban was signed into law by Governor Henry McMaster on Thursday, but Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a South Carolina clinic, and two of its doctors immediately filed a lawsuit to block it. The injunction means abortion access in South Carolina reverts back to being legal up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. The law includes exceptions for the patient's life and health, and for fatal fetal anomalies.
