South Carolina Proposes Legislation that Requires Ultrasound, Bans Aborting Babies with Heartbeats
Last Week, South Carolina introduced a bill that would make aborting a baby with a fetal heartbeat illegal.
According to Lifesite News, the H. 3020 bill, which was introduced last Monday, requires all women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound to see if a fetal heartbeat can be detected. If a heartbeat is found and the patient wishes to go through with the abortion without having a “physical medical threat,” the doctor who performs the procedure can be fined up to $10,000 and sentenced to two years in jail.
