(Reuters) - South Carolina lawmakers on Tuesday passed a ban on most abortions after fetal cardiac activity begins, around six weeks.

The hotly contested bill, which Republican Governor Henry McMaster is expected to sign, passed mostly along party lines, with the notable exception of the state senate's five women members, who opposed it.

The Republican-backed bill, which bans most abortions before many women know they are pregnant, is a revised version of an earlier measure that the state Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional earlier this year. It allows abortions up to 12 weeks in cases of rape and incest, and also provides an exception for medical emergencies.

Let’s use limits on abortion instead of bans. Who in the world, except crazy liberals, are against limits? We are championing abortion limits, not bans because in cases of life or death of the mother has to be an exception. And not the overly broad health exemptions where morning sickness could be used.
