A motion filed by Planned Parenthood in February to put a pause to South Carolina's six week abortion ban, has been denied by a circuit court judge.
A state circuit court judge ruled late May 16 that the state’s abortion ban does, in fact, take effect at six weeks of pregnancy, rather than nine.
South Carolina’s ban on abortions after roughly six weeks is back in court and centered on the definition of fetal heartbeat
