An appellate court is preparing to hear arguments over a lawsuit challenging South Carolina's abortion law. The court is set to hear arguments Thursday in Planned Parenthood's case against South Carolina's measure. The law requires doctors to perform ultrasounds to check for a so-called "fetal heartbeat," which can typically be detected about six weeks into pregnancy. If it is, the abortion can only be performed if the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest, or if the mother's life is in danger. -
A group of South Carolina lawmakers have advanced a proposal to ban all abortions in the state should the U.S. Supreme Court allow it. The full Medical Affairs committee is now poised to consider that measure after a subcommittee voted on it Wednesday. Senators also advanced a bill requiring doctors to tell women receiving drug-induced abortions about a controversial method to possibly halt the abortion process. The full abortion ban currently includes no exceptions for rape or incest.
