South Carolina lawmakers move toward ban on abortion from conception
Fox News
South Carolina lawmakers in the House of Representatives passed a bill that bans abortion after conception, exercising its rights after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
In June, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and giving individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the practice altogether. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The ruling came in the court's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Republican-led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from taking place.
