South Carolina Abortion Bill Stalls, Divides Anti-Abortion Groups

South Carolinas controversial abortion bill, which could have imposed severe penalties on women and restricted birth control methods, has stalled in a legislative subcommittee. The bill, which was more extreme than any other similar proposal in the US, faced criticism for attempting to ban contraception and criminalize those who help women obtain abortions. The setback highlights a lack of widespread support for such measures, even among some who oppose abortion, and suggests a growing division within anti-abortion groups regarding the extent of restrictions they are willing to support.
