South Carolina Doctors Ask for Right to Follow Conscience and Perform Abortions

South Carolina Doctors Ask for Right to Follow Conscience and Perform Abortions

  • Claims about religious conscience are nothing new in debates about reproduction in the United States. Employers cited it in refusing to include contraception in employee insurance plans; anti-abortion doctors relied on conscience when trying to establish standing in a case to shut down access to mifepristone.

The article from Slate discusses a significant legal challenge in South Carolina where a lawsuit has been filed against the state's stringent abortion laws. The lawsuit, brought by Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, argues that the state's six-week abortion ban, which was recently upheld by the South Carolina Supreme Court, violates the state's constitutional right to privacy. This legal battle comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which has led to a patchwork of abortion regulations across the U.S. The South Carolina Supreme Court, now with a new justice, is set to reconsider the case, potentially impacting abortion access not just in South Carolina but influencing similar cases nationwide. The article highlights the ongoing national debate over abortion rights, the role of state courts in interpreting privacy rights, and the broader implications for reproductive healthcare access.
