South Carolina House advances near-total ban on abortion with new limited exceptions for rape and incest

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : The amendment, which adds an exception for rape and incest up to 12 weeks after conception and requires reporting to law enforcement, was adopted by voice vote in a hasty reconsideration of the original bill, which had just been rejected by the House.
38% : Conservative Republicans spent the afternoon voting down amendments originally proposed by their GOP colleagues that would have added exceptions for rape, incest and fetal anomalies, as well as clarified language on the meaning of banning abortion from the "moment of conception."
