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.

It passed the house in November and passed an almost all-male senate committee. Opponents of the bill vowed it won't be so easy on the full Senate floor.

So if a 'doctor' hears nothing at FIVE weeks; pass a bill that he has to keep listening until he does!
