Another southern state appears ready to pass tighter new restrictions on abortion access, joining about a dozen other localities in the south. The South Carolina House of Representatives just passed a near ban on abortion access after 6 weeks before many women even know they're pregnant, and the state Senate will likely take a vote next week. It was one of the few places left in the south for those seeking abortions.

Really devastating to have a patient in front of you who needs something that you could clearly give, but the lawmakers tell you that you can't.

The new limits follow the Supreme Court last year overturning roe versus wade. I'm Jackie Quinn
