BREAKING: The South Carolina Supreme Court just unanimously blocked the state’s ban on abortion after about 6 weeks of pregnancy. We applaud the court’s decision to protect the people of South Carolina from this cruel law that interferes with a person’s private medical decision.

'Attempts to censor curriculum and ban books from libraries are absolutely thinly-veiled attempts to use children to harm the LGBTQIA+ community,' said Amberlyn Boiter 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. 'All children should be able to access information about all sorts of families.' greenvilleonline.com/story/news/loc…

TODAY, the Senate Medical Affairs committee notified the public of the ability to testify 'regarding abortion law in SC'. A link was provided to register to testify but within a few hours the form had closed and was no longer taking responses.

No one should have to fear being turned away from a medical provider because of who they are – but that's what H.4776 in South Carolina will do. Our own Ivy Hill and SC United for Justice & Equality's Amberlyn Boiter spoke with NPR about this awful legislation: npr.org/2022/06/17/110…

'While supporters will say the act allows providers to object to specific procedures, that becomes discriminatory when those procedures apply more to a certain group, such as transgender people seeking hormonal therapy or gay men who use PrEP medications.' postandcourier.com/health/new-eth…
