💨 Abstract

The South Carolina Supreme Court unanimously upheld a state law banning abortions around six weeks after conception, agreeing that the law intends to prohibit abortions when any cardiac activity is detected, regardless of the precise medical definition. This decision, made despite the law's vague language, was based on the clear intent of legislators to enforce a six-week ban. The ruling is part of a broader trend in Republican-controlled states to enforce abortion bans following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
