Thank the SC Senate Dems who protected abortion access

Thank you for standing united to protect the right of South Carolina's women to access abortion and other reproductive health services. If not for your courage, abortion would now be illegal in South Carolina.

Why is this important?

Last Thursday, the GOP attempt to make abortion illegal in South Carolina was thwarted by a unified effort by the state's Democratic Senators. All of the Democratic Senators pledged to filibuster until the end of the session to prevent a final vote on the abortion ban. Sen. Marlon Kimpson spoke for 8 hours to show the determination of the Senate's Democratic members. The Republicans relented, and sent the bill back to committee, effectively killing the bill for the year.

Please join us in thanking the Democratic Senators for standing up for women, and for abortion rights.
