- Abortion bans failed to pass in the legislatures of two conservative states yesterday. A near-total abortion ban failed to pass in South Carolina’s Senate by 22 votes to 21, marking the third time such a measure hasn’t passed in a GOP-led chamber since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. In the Nebraska Legislature, a bill proposing to ban abortions at six weeks of pregnancy fell one vote short of the required 33 votes to break a filibuster. The results mean abortions remain legal in the two states until 22 weeks of pregnancy. (Articles here and here)
