COLUMBIA, S.C. A controversial abortion bill is one step closer to becoming law.
After nearly four hours of testimony from the public, the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee voted in favor of the fetal heartbeat bill late Wednesday evening.
The bill, which would ban most abortions in South Carolina, was passed in the Senate last week and has now taken its first step in the House.
50 people gave public testimony Wednesday in hopes of swaying the subcommittee to vote either for or against the abortion bill.

IRMO, S.C. Monday evening, ahead of Lexington-Richland Five’s school board meeting, students protested returning to five days of face-to-face learning.
School District Five currently has all students learning face-to-face four days a week and Wednesday serves as a distance learning day. Starting February 1, they’ll move to five days. I think it’s absolutely necessary 100% that they be in person, said parent Nicole Dozier at the protest.
About 30 students came to protest returning to five days of in-person learning, but Dozier brought her family to show their support for the re-entry plan.
