At 11:30 last night, the SC House and Senate passed H. 3245, the Two Trip Ultrasound Mandate. The final version of the bill has been converted into a women’s rights bill, and therefore passed with our support.

This makes it very unlikely that this bill will pass this legislative session.

The South Carolina Senate voted against the healthcare cuts that passed the House last week. Because of the Senate&#8217;s refusal to cut HIV/AIDS funding and cancer screenings, the budget moves to a conference committee, where representatives from both the House and Senate will work together to find a compromise.
The major issue at hand is finding [...]]]></description>
