The court battle renews the ban on SC Heartbeat abortions as opponents debate science – mail and courier

It is not even right to call it a fruit until later, after 10 weeks, she said.

The group’s arguments fly to the intention of South Carolina’s legislation, where the six -week border is often mentioned during prolonged debate, said Connors, whose group lobbies for the law of the state of Palmo and others across the country. This is also contrary to established medical opinion, she said.

“Science and doctors from all over the country have really come to the conclusion (that) about six weeks of pregnancy is when this initial pulse can be found,” Connors said. This is at the heart of the argument for the law of South Carolina and “this is indeed embedded in other countries that have also passed laws on heart rhythm.”

Challenges are also going against the will of the people, she said.

“South Carolina voters have been consistent about the vote for a selected representation in Colombia, and in Washington, Colombia District, which supported life and who have gone again and again to Colombia to accept life legislation,” said Connorses S

This mood was sounded on February 10 in a statement by the Republican Party in South Carolina.

“South Carolina voters have clarified their position by choosing leadership in life,” the statement set out by the party leadership said. “Still, organizations like planned parenting continue to use the judiciary to circumvent the democratic process and to impose their will.”

The transition from a six -week ban on one to nine weeks would actually be meaningful, Ringer said. A six -week ban means that about 90 percent of women should be diverted from South Carolina clinics and seek care in another state, she said. But at nine weeks, about half of women looking for abortions can take care of the state, she said.

“The difference between six weeks and nine weeks for a woman in this condition is huge,” Ringer said.

Glang herself was pregnant for about nine weeks when her doctor handed her bad news, so she prolonged abortion restrictions, “Potentially for me, it could do” changes, she said. But even with extension, with all the confusion and potential responsibility for doctors and hospitals, it may still be ultimately looking for care outside the state. Her doctor wanted her to wait a few weeks and consult again, but Glang didn’t want to take the risk. She was worried about the risk of infection and the horrors she heard.
