South Carolina looks at most restrictive abortion bill in the US as opponents keep pushing limits A group of South Carolina senators plans to consider a proposal that could introduce the strictest abortion prohibitions and punishments in the nation.

Sending women who get #abortions to prison for decades. Outlawing #IUDs. Sharply restricting #in-vitro fertilization. These are the strictest abortion prohibitions and punishments in the nation being considered by SC lawmakers, even as opponents of the procedure are divided over how far to go.
