HEARTBEAT BILL (H3020) ADVANCES TO THE FULL HOUSE

By a vote of 15-7, the SC House Judiciary Committee advanced the Heartbeat bill (H3020) to the full House, after adding an exception for victims of rape and incest.
The vote came shortly after 9 pm. The Heartbeat bill would outlaw abortions after a heartbeat is detected. The pregnant woman also must be informed of the Heartbeat and given an opportunity to hear it.
Representative Nancy Mace, Republican of Charleston, told the committee that she had been raped when she was 16. Her amendment passed by a voice vote.
Stay tuned for a detailed report.
