A near-total ban on abortion failed in South Carolina, just hours before a six-week ban fizzled in Nebraska, signaling a mounting fear among some Republicans that abortion bans could lead to political backlash.
A near-total ban on abortion failed in South Carolina, just hours before a six-week ban fizzled in Nebraska. Abortion remains legal in both states until 22 weeks of pregnancy.
Conservatives have pushed GOP leaders to seize the opportunity to enact strict bans, but voters across the country have repeatedly demonstrated their strong support for abortion rights, striking down antiabortion amendments even in conservative states like Kentucky and Kansas. South Carolina state Sen. Katrina Shealy blasted the plastic spines as “the worst example of lobbying” she had seen,, adding that “I’ve got one hell of a spine already but now I’ve got another backup.”
West Virginia passed a near-total ban several weeks later, but only after moderates pushed to eliminate any criminal penalties for doctors.
