SOUTH CAROLINA, USA South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster and other pro-life advocates gathered Wednesday to fight for the so-called "Heartbeat Bill." Senators will be debating the bill that would ban almost all abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.
The bill passed the House last year and went through a lot of changes during senate committees this past fall.
With a new session comes a renewed push from supporters of the bill, but some lawmakers say it won't pass.
South Carolina's senators poised to debate one of the most broad-sweeping abortion bans in the country. Anti-abortion advocates gathered today in support of the bill.
"Whenever they pass it, I will sign it!" Governor McMaster said at the gathering.
Governor McMaster called the right to life fundamental in South Carolina.
H.3020, the so-called heartbeat bill, would ban all abortions after about six weeks -- or whenever a fetal heartbeat is detected.

SC PING PLEASE
BUMP!
If an EMT finds no heartbeat, they try like heck to get one started!!
So if a 'doctor' hears nothing at FIVE weeks; pass a bill that he has to keep listening until he does!
God bless him
It has been 47 years and over 60 million murdered babies since Roe v Wade
I may yet, in my lifetime see it overturned
