Men will never stop their crusade to tell a woman what to do with her body. Just look at the governor of South Carolina, who, On thursday, signed a bill that would effectively prohibit abortion in the state.
NBC News reports that planned Paternity immediately sued the state, preventing the ban from taking effect. The “Fetal Heartbeat and Abortion Protection Act of South Carolina” would require doctors to perform an ultrasound to see if the fetus has a heartbeat. If this happens, the doctor will be prevented from having an abortion. “There are a lot of happy hearts beating in South Carolina now,” South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said during a bill signing ceremony.
It’s amazing how it seems that the only thing that brings joy to these people is being a coward, idiotic controllers.
From NBC News:
The House passed its bill by 79-35 votes on Wednesday, after hours of emotional testimony from supporters and opponents, and gave final approval to the measure on Thursday. Moments after the second vote on Thursday, Planned Parenthood announced it was filing a lawsuit. The “South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat and Abortion Protection Act”, like other similar laws currently being challenged, is “blatantly unconstitutional,” said Jenny Black, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic.
Proponents of restrictive abortion laws are trying to take the matter to the United States Supreme Court in the hope that – with three judges appointed by former Republican President Donald Trump – the court can annul Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that supports abortion rights. The Supreme Court had previously ruled that abortion is legal until a fetus is viable outside the womb – months after a heartbeat can be detected, Black said.

The bill would not punish women who have an abortion, but it would potentially accuse the doctor who did it of a crime that carries a sentence of up to two years and a fine of up to $ 10,000. The only circumstances in which an abortion can be performed if a heartbeatThis is discovered if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.
This is not only patently fucked up, it is also kind of racist. Planned Parenthood notes in its filing that a high rate of black women in South Carolina die of complications during and immediately after childbirth.
Obviously, it hardly affected Republicans in the state who worked to approve the bill. “We are about to do what I have been trying to do for 25 years: shut down the abortion industry in South Carolina,” Republican Senator Larry Grooms told reporters.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson issued a statement saying that his office “will vigorously defend this law in court because there is nothing more important than protecting life. ”There is hope among anti-abortion advocates that the ban will result in the Supreme Court taking over the case and the 6-3 Republican majority overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade legislation that legalized abortion.
You know, it would be great if these people had the same energy when it comes to I don’t know, ensuring that education was properly funded or providing resources and programs for single mothers that they are trying to force to have a child. At the very least, they could tighten gun laws so that parents don’t have to worry about their children being shot at school.
I’m just saying, if they want to call themselves “pro-life”, they can at least act like they care about preserving life beyond the womb.
