The bill the woman are blocking would ban abortion after conception and only allow the procedure for rape or incest in the first trimester.
Five women with different political points of view are blocking an attempt to severely restrict abortion rights in South Carolina.
The women have repeatedly blocked a bill that would ban abortion after conception in South Carolina. The bill has exceptions in cases of rape or incest, but only if the woman is still in her first trimester. Shealy noted that the majority of the South Carolina legislature is men and they are spearheading the more restrictive bill.
Shealy said the women of the Senate wanted to introduce a 12-week abortion ban, but were told"no" by the men. She said she agreed on a 6-week abortion ban as a compromise. However, the state senator said she's continually become concerned as Republicans have tried to restrict abortion access even more.
