COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The debate over abortion rights in South Carolina is heating up this week. The Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee met Tuesday morning to discuss House Bill 3020, also sometimes known as the fetal heartbeat bill. The bill would ban abortions so long as a heartbeat can be detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into the pregnancy. Sometimes women don’t know they are pregnant at six weeks. Tuesday, members of a Senate subcommittee voted to add an amendment to the bill to remove exceptions for women who were victims of rape or incest. That amendment...

Network anchors and reporters are currently freaking out over Georgia, Alabama and Missouri passing laws designed to protect the rights of the unborn, having already devoted almost an hour (59 minutes, 38 seconds) of coverage (May 7-16) to the these new laws. But when New York passed a radical law legalizing late term abortions back in January the networks didn’t care at all - spending zero seconds on the bill signed into law by liberal New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Back in January the networks also shirked off Virginia Democratic Governor Ralph Northam’s support of a failed state bill that...

Hollywood threatened Georgia with a boycott if the state passed a bill that limited abortions to the first six weeks. Peach State lawmakers passed the bill and left-wing celebrities are erupting.

In a letter written by actress-turned-activist Alyssa Milano, stars threaten to “do everything in our power to move our industry to a safer state for...

Gov. Bruce Rauner said Monday he will decide "in the near future" the fate of a controversial and politically complex measure that would expand taxpayer-subsidized abortions for women covered by Medicaid and state employee insurance. The Republican governor's decision has major political consequences as he seeks re-election, illustrated by his vow in April to veto the bill and comments last week that he was undecided. Democrats who run the legislature approved the legislation May 10 but did not send it to Rauner's desk until Monday. The governor was immediately peppered with questions at a pair of stops about what he'll...

A note to House Republicans: Today is the 42nd anniversary of the decision in Roe v. Wade. I never need reminding of which anniversary it is — it ’s always the same as my age. I was one of those who entered the world through a pregnancy of the sort we call “unplanned,” though as a Hayekian type I do not object to being the “result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.” I was born about three months — call it a “trimester” — before Roe. In my case, the result was an adoption. Mine...

A Mississippi lawmaker wants to require women wait three days after counseling before receiving ad abortion. That is just one of thousands of bills filed before the legislative deadline. Three other states have a 72-hour waiting period. Currently, Mississippi requires a woman to receive in-office counseling and wait 24 hours before the doctor can perform an abortion. Senator Phillip Gandy of Waynesboro has filed a bill to extend that wait to 72 hours. "We give a 72-hour right of rescission before buying a house. I think a life and death issue and something that has the potential to affect the...

A Florida lawmaker believes he is on solid ground with a proposal dealing with abortionists operating in the state. State Rep. Mike Hill of Florida has introduced a bill requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic where they are terminating the lives of babies. Hill explains the bill: "And the reason for that is we find that now if there is a complication because of an abortion, that the doctor performing that surgery simply calls the emergency management. They come, pick up the lady, take her to the hospital and they wash...

Obama Vows To Veto GOP-Backed Abortion, Pipeline Bills President Barack Obama speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington. President Barack Obama is vowing to veto a Republican-backed bill that would ban abortions after the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, as well as a measure that would require a decision on pipeline construction within 12 months.

House consideration of the measure this week coincides with the anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in...

Click to see video, "The Foot Soldiers." Contains some graphic images.Last night the Senate defeated the Nelson-Hatch amendment, which would have prohibited government from paying for abortion in the healthcare reform bill, like the Hyde Amendment currently does. Despite the fact that most Americans do not want their government to pay for abortion with their money, the Senate gave into Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby. That means that the Senate health care bill -- along with its other problems -- is a baldly PRO-ABORTION bill. We have to STOP it. Please contact your senators TODAY and urge them to...
