South Carolina could soon become the latest state to enact more stringent abortion rules – outlawing most of the procedures in the Palmetto State. The state Senate voted 30-13 Wednesday to pass the new ban, which is expected to become law. "Life is the most precious right we have," said state Sen Larry Grooms, who sponsored the bill. The South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat Protection from Abortion Act would require a fetal heartbeat check when a woman seeks an abortion in the state. Just one Democrat voted for the ban, state Sen. Kent Williams, and only one Republican voted against it, state Sen. Sandy Senn.
