The law would effectively prohibit abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy, before many people know they’re pregnant.

There are narrow exceptions including in cases of rape or incest or if the life of the pregnant person is at risk. https://t.co/iybOCSxDcw

Doctors who perform an abortion on a victim of rape or incest will be required to report the allegations to law enforcement, including contact information for the pregnant person. https://t.co/iybOCSxDcw

South Carolina’s ban goes into effect upon signing, though abortion-rights advocates immediately filed a lawsuit to stop its implementation.

It’s unclear how quickly a court will respond to a request in the lawsuit for an injunction. https://t.co/iybOCSxDcw
