As previously reported, earlier this week (Feb. 18), South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster signed into law the Fetal Heartbeat Protection from Abortion Act, prohibiting an abortion if a fetal heartbeat is detected. One day later, in Planned Parenthood South Atlantic v. Wilson, (D SC, Feb. 19, 2021), a South Carolina federal district court issued a temporary restraining order barring enforcement of the Act, saying in part:
Because the Act bans abortion months before any fetus could be viable, ... Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claim that the Act is unconstitutional. Indeed, courts have “universally” invalidated laws that ban abortions beginning at a gestational age prior to viability.

Some human heartbeats are protected, but not those of the very young who others want to snuff out.
Bttt
So...enforce the law anywise and tell the judge to pound sand. It’s time for states to start nullifying, interdicting, and ignoring.
Assume the goal is to appeal it to the supremes and overturn Roe? Good luck with that - too many spineless cowards on the court.
Viability has become younger and younger since 1973, with medical advances.
Sadly, there’s no possibility of Roberts and Kavanaugh voting to overturning Roe. The establishment demands legal abortion, and Roberts & Kav ultimately serve their establishment masters. At this point, we have a maximum of 4 votes to overturn: 2 locks: Thomas and Alito; and 2 maybes: Gorsuch and Barrett.
