South Carolina

Check out the status of abortion care, gender-affirming health care, and many other issues that we're following.

Abortion is available through 6 weeks of pregnancy in South Carolina.

In 2023, the all-male South Carolina Supreme Court allowed a dangerous law to go into effect, impacting the availability of abortion across the state. There are limited exceptions for the life and physical health of the pregnant person, including someone who has a diagnosis of a "life-limiting" fetal anomaly. Survivors of rape and incest can only access care until 12 weeks of pregnancy and only if their physician reports the assault — and the survivor’s name — to law enforcement. For more information, check out our resource on How to Get an Abortion in South Carolina.

Repeal The Ban SC!

South Carolina's extreme abortion ban has had devastating consequences on the pregnant people of our state. To bring about change in this law, since the courts have failed us, we must show our strength in numbers and demand the South Carolina legislature repeal this dangerous and discriminatory law! Join us, with our coalition partners, by adding your name to the long list of people who want abortion access restored in our state. 

SIGN THE PETITION

Gender-affirming health care for trans youth is under attack.

Right now, lawmakers are trying to pass House Bill 4624, which would ban gender-affirming health care for anyone under 18, including reversible hormone therapy and puberty blockers. This bill also requires school officials to “out” students who are curious about or questioning their gender to their parents, potentially before they are ready to share.

Contact your elected official and urge them to vote NO on House Bill 4624.
