SPECTRUM NEWS
At the South Carolina State House just hours before the start of the 2026 legislative session, State Rep. Rob Harris, R-Spartanburg, and State Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg, spoke about abortion legislation they each plan to sponsor.
The new legislation aims to go a step further than the current “Fetal Heartbeat” law, which prohibits abortions after a heartbeat in the fetus is detected, which happens at around six-weeks.
