Repeal SC abortion restrictions; email the House Ad Hoc Committee

Submitted by South Carolina in June 2022.

Action Alerts

House Bill H.5399 would ban all abortions in all circumstances. This bill threatens the rights and bodily autonomy of women —not only our moral agency and personal dignity but our lives. The 2021 “heartbeat” law should be repealed and further attempts to restrict abortion prior to viability should cease.

We need your voice by Wednesday, February 9, when the House Election Laws Subcommittee takes up a very important early and absentee voting bill. The bill does something that we have long needed, creating a no-excuse early voting period. However, it also does things that are threats to voter access and reasonable election administration. We hope everyone will provide personal testimony at the hearing or in writing. The League's testimony:
