The South Carolina Supreme Court Strikes Down the State's Fetal Heartbeat Act

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Planned Parenthood will keep working day by day and state by state to safeguard that right for all people, and we won't stop until everyone can access the essential health care they need and deserve.
46% : She also stated:Reproductive health care, including abortion, is a fundamental right that should never be subject to the whims of power-hungry politicians.
45% : While this right is not absolute and must be balanced against the State's interest in protecting unborn life, this Act, which severely limits -- and in many instances completely forecloses -- abortion, is an unreasonable restriction upon a woman's right to privacy, and is therefore unconstitutional.
40% : In a nation in which everyone is encouraged not to seek a higher standard but lower the existing ones, abortion will continue to be a fact of life.
39% : The law took effect following the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision last year, which returned the issue of abortion to the jurisdiction of the states.
