Stats are really pushing for this to end up in front of SCOTUS

South Carolina enacts heartbeat bill (with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother), 79-35

Heartbeat is focusing on something that is utterly inconsequential and meaningless, some bullshit they have chosen because they know that it is so early in the pregnancy that it acts as a de facto ban.

I don’t think this is going to hold to a court challenge

I don’t think this is going to hold to a court challenge

I’m pretty sure that’s their plan - to take it to the now decidedly conservative Supreme Court.

I don’t know if even they want to open that door.

Considering the makeup of the court, I don't think they have much to lose.

They clearly do and have been attempting this for a while.

A winter storm in the south and a pandemic and they're more concerned about restricting women's health. God the GOP is awful.

Overturning Roe would backfire massively on Republicans.

But it has been working fine right now
I means, it motivated and the most religious and the moderates do not seem to stop voting republican. so why stop.

as they say, you don't fix a car that's not broken.

A lot of women and independents wouldn’t be very happy and it would motivate women and democrats to vote even more out of anger.

the current mentality is that the left wing need to pender the voice of the moderates, but not the right wing.

A ban on abortion isnt going to be popular.

A ban on abortion isnt going to be popular.

Especially since several of the party have pressured their GFs to have one/flown their daughters/gfs to have one.

Ok for me but not for thee.

Always really scummy behavior.

South Carolina enacts heartbeat bill (with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother), 79-35

What is their obsession with incest?

Rape: A crime was committed against the female partner. Or BY the female partner.
Incest: A crime was committed against the female partner, who was either underage (ie rape) or committed a crime herself.
Life of the mother: Well of course.

Republicans seem to have a soft spot for sex criminals. Penalties for incest go as low as 1 year (and $500 fine) so this provision seems to encourage male relatives of a pregnant woman to step up and claim to be the father.

Btw, there's no obligation on the sheriff to investigate an alleged rape or case of incest. The chance of the sheriff laying charges are essentially nil if the pregnant woman won't co-operate.

They'd be in trouble without that loophole

The Satanic Temple's done a lot of cool things.
