COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — A bill that would ban virtually all abortions six weeks after conception in South Carolina moves closer to being discussed on the Senate floor.
The Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee passed an amended version of the bill, which is now minus the rape and incest exception, in a 4-3 vote along party lines.
The bill is now going to be discussed by the full Medical Affairs committee before it could be brought up on the Senate floor.
Unlike the bill that passed the House, the bill the committee will review is without the rape and incest exception, an amendment that also passed along party lines.
