Federal judge blocks SC abortion ban 1 day after Gov. McMaster signed it into law

“How could you possibly square this legislation with Roe v. Wade?” Lewis asked Emory Smith, the attorney general’s deputy solicitor general.

Not only that, the judge told Smith South Carolina’s own existing state laws say a fetus is not viable outside the mother before six months.

“My God, we are talking about way before viability,” said Lewis, spreading her arms wide.

And here it is—

Smith told the judge “the law is in a state of flux. We have a different (U.S.) Supreme Court, your honor. It’s a different composition. … The law may be what it is right now, but it may be different in another year.”

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

It’s just a matter of time before abortion will be illegal or unobtainable in most of the country. I’m guessing in 2023.
