🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA 🚨

Team, South Carolina lawmakers are advancing S.1095— a total abortion ban that is even more extreme than earlier proposals. [[link removed]]

The bill cleared subcommittee and is now headed to a full committee hearing TOMORROW, where lawmakers will debate its future. The Center has already submitted testimony opposing this bill and we’re actively monitoring what happens next. Now we need to be ready to fight back and we cannot afford to wait. [[link removed]]

DEFEND ABORTION CARE [[link removed]]

This extremist bill would:

* Criminalize the pregnant person for their abortions
* Classify providing an abortion as a felony, with penalties of up to 20 years in prison
* Criminalize abortion funds and people who help others access abortion care
* Criminalize possessing, mailing, transporting, delivering or otherwise providing medication abortion
* Remove what little remains of exceptions for rape, incest, and fatal fetal anomaly
* Designate FDA-approved abortion medication as controlled substances
* Remove protections for young people’s access to abortions
* Force students to watch an anti-abortion propaganda video called "Meet Baby Olivia" in public schools

This is not just about South Carolina. It's about creating a blueprint for national abortion and birth control bans. This is unacceptable. [[link removed]]

FIGHT BACK [[link removed]]

We're challenging coordinated attacks like this on your health care, but stopping bans like this takes sustained legal action. [[link removed]] Your support powers the work to block these laws before they take hold and spread across the country.

Our ability to fight—and win—depends on people like you who believe in reproductive freedom, dignity, and autonomy. [[link removed]]

In solidarity,

Nancy Northup
President & CEO
