You’re not really getting anything out of it, just short-term satisfaction. It’s kind of meaningless.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolinaruled Wednesday the state can keep banning abortions around six weeks after conception by agreeing with the earliest interpretation offered of when a heartbeat starts.

The justices unanimously ruled that while the medical language in thewas vague, supporters and opponents of the law all seemed to think it banned abortions after six weeks until Planned Parenthood lost its challenge to the entire law two years ago.The law says abortions cannot be performed after an ultrasound can detect “cardiac activity, or the steady and repetitive rhythmic contraction of the fetal heart, within the gestational sac.”

that is the moment when an ultrasound detects cardiac activity. Planned Parenthood said the words after the “or” mean the ban should only start after the major parts of the heart come together and “repetitive rhythmic contraction” begins, which is often around nine weeks.AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on an abortion update in South Carolina.

The justices acknowledged the medical imprecision of South Carolina’s heartbeat provision, which is similar to language in the laws in several other states. But they said this drove them to study the intent of the General Assembly, which left no doubt that lawmakers on both sides of the issue saw it as a six-week ban.

“We could find not one instance during the entire 2023 legislative session in which anyone connected in any way to the General Assembly framed the Act as banning abortion after approximately nine weeks,” Associate Justice John Few wrote in theLynn McCann-Yeh, co-executive director of the Baltimore Abortion Fund, which helps pay costs associated with abortion for people who live in Maryland or who travel there, said it’s hard to keep up with an annual budget of about $2 million.

“We would need many, many more times over that to fully be able to meet the full logistic and medical support for each caller,” she said.She said the $3 million that would be made available annually under the new law could make a major difference. The fund could apply to administer a share of that money.

“The $3 million is a great start, but it will take more than that and it will take sustained funding,” she said.Maryland’s legislature is controlled by Democrats, who hold a 2-1 advantage over Republicans in voter registration statewide. Last year, Maryland
