1 abortion bill halted, another advances as SC Statehouse takes action on second day of 2026 session
POST AND COURIER
Without taking a vote, lawmakers in a House Judiciary subcommittee voted to adjourn debate Jan. 14 on a bill backed by Spartanburg Republican Rob Harris that if passed would classify abortion as murder without any exceptions for rape and incest.
But even in its limited numbers, the so-called “abortion abolition” groups have grown more aggressive. In a press conference ahead of the start of session earlier this week, figures like Mark Corral, who leads anti-abortion group Equal Protection SC, and U.S. Senate candidate Mark Lynch criticized long-standing anti-abortion organizations who pushed the six-week ban.
