SC politics briefing Maayan Schechter, The State (Columbia, S.C.)
Feb. 19 Welcome to your weekly South Carolina politics briefing, a newsletter curated by The State s politics and government team.
As has become custom in the South Carolina Legislature, a lot happened this week and here are the highlights and what s to come.
First, abortion.
It was not a surprise this week that the South Carolina House was going to move to pass the fetal heartbeat abortion ban bill.
Though for anyone watching the debate Wednesday, it felt like days within a day.
Before we give you the least surprising news of the week that Gov. Henry McMaster signed the bill into law Thursday just as he has promised for months (oops we did it) let s explain what took place this week and why it s unlikely we re going to hear the end of it.

As members of the South Carolina House were debating the “fetal heartbeat” abortion ban bill on Wednesday, Rep.
Jonathon Hill (R-SC) threw up his papers and stormed out of the hearing.
Although House Republicans hold the state’s majority with 81 seats, and Gov.
Henry McMaster (R-SC) already agreed to sign the bill if no changes were made, Hill threw a tantrum because he was unable to file his remaining amendments, according to
The State’s
