South Carolina Court Puts Temporary Hold on Near-Total Abortion Ban

HeadlineMay 30, 2023

The temporary injunction was granted Friday, one day after Republican Governor Henry McMaster signed the legislation. South Carolina’s abortion ban provides only limited exceptions for rape and incest survivors, or when a patient’s life and health are in danger.
