Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and other South Carolina abortion providers have filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the new fetal heartbeat law.
is suing South Carolina to overturn the new"Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion" law, which restricts abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
"The decision of if, when, and how to have a child is deeply personal, and politicians making that decision for anyone else is government overreach of the highest order," Black added. "With my signature, the Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act is now law and will begin saving the lives of unborn children immediately," McMaster said in a statement Thursday."This is a great day for life in South Carolina, but the fight is not over. We stand ready to defend this legislation against any challenges and are confident we will succeed. The right to life must be preserved, and we will do everything we can to protect it.
Planned Parenthood's complaint points out that the new heartbeat law is"nearly identical" to a law struck down by the South Carolina Supreme Court in January. In a 3-2 decision, the high court said the previous law infringed on a woman's right to privacy under the state Constitution. Planned Parenthood had welcomed that decision as a"win for freedom" and a"monumental victory" for abortion rights in the South.
