South Carolina House Democrats file 1,000 amendments to stop 6-week abortion ban
Fox News
Democrats in the South Carolina House have introduced hundreds of amendments in an effort to prolong debate on a bill that prohibits abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
"Bring supper, dinner, breakfast, lunch, whatever for days or however long you want to get through amendments," Smith said last week.
The bill facing consideration would almost entirely ban abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy. It comes as a compromise of sorts after the state Senate rejected a previous proposal to outlaw the procedure.
