South Carolina's Controversial Abortion Bill: Proposed Restrictions and Punishments

The proposed bill includes sending women who get abortions to prison for decades, outlawing IUDs, and sharply restricting in-vitro fertilization. Despite divisions among opponents of the procedure on how far to go, the bill faces a challenging legislative path and uncertain prospects, even if it advances through the state Senate subcommittee currently reviewing it.
