COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina’s new all-male Supreme Court reversed course on abortion on Wednesday, upholding a ban on most such procedures after about six weeks of pregnancy.

The 4-1 ruling departs from the court’s own decision earlier this year to strike down a similar law.

The continued erosion of legal abortion access across the U.S. South comes after Republican state lawmakers replaced the lone female on the court, Justice Kaye Hearn.

Writing for the new majority, Justice John Kittredge acknowledged that the 2023 law infringes on “a woman’s right of privacy and bodily autonomy,” but said the state legislature reasonably determined this time around that those interests don’t outweigh “the interest of the unborn child to live.”

“As a Court, unless we can say that the balance struck by the legislature was unreasonable as a matter of law, we must uphold the Act,” Kittredge wrote.……

Pay attention, ladies. Now, not only does a fetus have rights, those rights outweigh your own. Put another way, a lump of cells inside you counts for more than you do.

Regretting staying at home in '16 yet?

It's sad that the future of this country comes down to not economic policy or climate policy but I'm believing (and hoping) that trampling on women's constitutional rights might finally get the R's exactly what they deserve.....complete and utter lunacy.....

Their stance has always been that the fetus’ rights outweigh the woman’s rights. It’s nothing new, it follows by literal definition of their stance.
 
And not only that, how many doctors refuse to give the woman the option to tie her tubes unless she has multiple children already or at a certain age? "but what if you get married later or you get remarried" etc... like she should get permission from a man first.
 
Voters in OH have supported a ballot initiative to codify reproductive freedom into the OH state constitution. The OH MAGA Secretary of State has reworded the ballot initiative and it was approved 3-2 along party lines. The new wording was carefully modified to prejudice against the initiative.

 
The wording is intentionally misleading. The military allows soldiers who have to travel out of their assigned state to access legal reproductive care the leave time needed for such travel and reimburses them the money it takes to travel to get such care. The military is not paying for abortions.

 
You'd need 60 votes in the Senate for that to happen...I think.
Yeah, I think so too. Romney, Murkowski and maybe Collins, plus the Dems would need to add some. It’s difficult-but it should happen. They’re unethical and should be held accountable.

Oh I agree, but it's a long shot at best. Probably energy best spent in pushing for reforms and going from there.
