After months of wrangling, the South Carolina Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The bill includes some exceptions, including provisions for rape and incest that are available up to 12 weeks.
Gov. Henry McMaster said he will sign the bill as soon as possible. Once signed into law, Virginia will be the only state left in the South with relatively unrestricted access to abortion — up to 26 weeks of pregnancy.
The only five women in the state's senate, who call themselves the "Sister Senators," united to oppose the six-week ban, which one Republican said was "about controlling women."
