US: SC abortion ban gets hearing for first time this session

A South Carolina Supreme Court decision five days before the General Assembly returned for 2023 raised the possibility that abortion bans could once more dominate legislative debate in the state.That likelihood increased on Thursday when a House subcommittee approved the first abortion ban to get a public hearing in the state this year.A grueling special session spanning a dozen meetings and hours of floor debate throughout last summer and fall resulted in no new abortion restrictions.
