Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in April 2026.

Commentary: The dignity of SC girls and women

Submitted by South Carolina in April 2026.

Press Mention

SC Daily Gazette

Bill S.1095 treats every South Carolinian who can become pregnant as a second-class citizen whose body is subject to the demands of the state. It is intended less to protect children than to redefine the role of girls and women in the family and in society to conform to the wishes of a minority whose views are rooted in fundamentalist religious dogma and personal preferences regarding gender roles.

These have no place in our laws. South Carolina must trust its people, not legislators, to make the medically and ethically complex decisions that surround pregnancy.
