Some South Carolina lawmakers who oppose abortion are being cautious when it comes to tightening the state's already restrictive laws even further
, when they passed a ban on abortions after cardiac activity is detected — at about six weeks — some Republicans have begun to reevaluate their positions.
Davis said he is now rethinking the whole issue, weighing the rights of a fetus to live against the rights of someone to control their own body. Instead, the state should step back for a few years to see how its new law banning the procedure after six weeks works, the Republican lawmaker said. South Carolina should also examine what happens in states that now have a total ban and others that allow abortions later into pregnancies and study the foster care and other social service programs to see what can be done to help them handle an influx of births, he said. About 6,300 abortions were performed in South Carolina in 2021.
