New Law In South Carolina Makes It A Crime To Recommend An Abortion

The measure would also make it illegal for people to help women get information on how to get an abortion if that information will likely lead to a woman getting the procedure or a drug. It also outlaws the manufacture and sale of abortion drugs. The penalty for both violations is a felony with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. There are no punishments mentioned for a woman seeking the abortion.

"Right now in South Carolina we have 40 percent of children living in a single mother household are living in poverty. why aren't we addressing these issues instead forcing a woman to give birth?" one protestor named Natasha said.
