  • SC's state Senators introduced a new version of the state's trust fund scholarship program that the Supreme Court struck down. The proposal is a top priority for Republican lawmakers.

The article from The State discusses the ongoing debate over the South Carolina House's decision to ban most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. This decision has sparked significant controversy and legal challenges. The ban, which was passed by the Republican-led House, includes exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and when the mother's life is at risk. Critics argue that the six-week window is too short, as many women might not even know they are pregnant by that time. The legislation has led to protests and has been challenged in court, with opponents claiming it violates privacy rights and could endanger women's health. Meanwhile, supporters of the bill believe it protects the rights of the unborn. The issue has become a focal point in the state's political landscape, influencing public opinion and upcoming elections.
