Upcoming Legislation Dates for Access to Abortion in South Carolina
After The U.S. Supreme Court made the decision to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion, WREN and partners became proactive on working against any total abortion bans in South Carolina. Help advocate against abortion bans by contacting your legislators and letting them know we REJECT a ban on abortions. #StopTheBanSC
In August, WREN and partners prepare for the fight for NO ABORTION BANS in South Carolina. Here are the upcoming legislative dates regarding the total abortion ban in South Carolina:
August 16 – House Judiciary sub and full committee debate
