South Carolina governor signs six-week abortion ban law; legal challenges expected
- South Carolina's governor signed a bill banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy.
- The law faces immediate legal challenges and has been temporarily blocked by a judge.
- The law provides exceptions for rape, incest, medical emergencies and fetal abnormalities.
- If upheld, the law would cut off South Carolina as an access point for women seeking abortions from neighboring states with stricter laws.
- The state Supreme Court struck down an earlier version of the ban in January
