Total Abortion Ban - S.323 Dies in Committee

UPDATE: The bill failed to advance out of a Senate Medical Affairs subcommittee in a 2-3 vote on November 18, 2025, effectively making it a "dead bill" for the current session.

All of your efforts to protest the bill and to contact legislators made a BIG difference! Thank you!

S.323 was an almost total ban on abortion, identifying it as the crime of homicide punishable by a prison term of up to 30 years for a person having an abortion or aiding in abortion.

The League of Women Voters of South Carolina rejected this bill in its entirety.
