South Carolina s lawmakers will consider a pair of bills that, if enacted, would ban abortions performed on an unborn baby when a heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
Two bills were pre-filed last month for the South Carolina General Assembly to consider when they begin their legislative session next Tuesday.
