Judge Takes Less Than 24 Hours To Put Restraining Order On SC Heartbeat Fetal Protection Law

Daily Caller

A federal judge temporarily blocked South Carolina’s near total abortion ban Friday barely a day after the governor signed it into law.

Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster signed the South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act into law Thursday after it overwhelmingly passed the state’s house Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis put a 14-day temporary restraining order on the law Friday, the Associated Press reported. More

  1. I believe abortion is stops a human being from coming into exsistance. Everyone can agreee on that. I don’t do the murder not murder arguements. I am pro life but I won’t stop others so

    I would encourage Judge Mary Geiger Lewis, her mother, her sisters, her daughters, her granddaughters, her neices and any other female in her family to abort any and all there children.

    The world can use a few less people like Judge Mary Geiger Lewis.

  2. Politically, it was not a smart bill. A heartbeat signals nothing of importance. Most animals have hearts.

    Pro-life activists need to start chipping away at the “viability” question, which is the standard in all the post-Roe cases (see, e.g. Planned Parenthood v. Casey). They need to get up to speed on the latest research on fetal brain development and cognitive brain function, as well as fetal pain research.

    The continuing refusal to do this will yield the same non-success, indeed the reverse of success, that has characterized pro-life activism for the past now nearly 50 years.

  3. So, a heartbeat does not indicate life.I must ask these fine people what exactly does Indicate life for them, the heartbeat of one of the so called “victims” of people acting in self defense of their own heartbeat, like AOC claiming she was almost killed?

  4. “The temporary restraining order was needed in part because more than 75 women are scheduled to have abortions in the state over the next three days”
    We need a restraining order so we can murder more!

  5. I wonder what the reaction would be for the “pro-choice” people if they learned that an animal rights group decided to prevent the surplus of puppies and kitten by hunting down the pregnant dogs and cats and removing the clump of cells that are within their uterus. I assume that would be okay to PETA and the SPCA as well?

  6. Here’s what states need to do, ignore unconstitutional court rulings. Abolish abortion, what the hell is any federal court going to do? They can’t enforce shit.

  7. I love how feminists demand the right to have sex with anyone anywhere at anytime, while simultaneously demanding full amnesty from any and all consequences or responsibilities that may result from it.

    Demanding your rights without acknowledging your responsibility is not freedom, it’s adolescence.

  8. Thompepper, the “human life” argument does not work. Every cell in the body, and the “half-cells” sperm and ovum are “alive”.

    MJA, a state cannot just say no. Read the line of cases that have come after Roe (which itself was substantially modified by PP v. Casey.)

    The only cases that pro-life proponents have won (sometimes) are those that focus on fetal viability, cognition and pain along with proving that the abortion or abortion method was in fact not necessary for the mother’s life or health.

    I am weary. Pro-life legislators enact these laws — that they KNOW will be struck down — for election credibility, pandering to voters using a wedge issue, especially one-issue voters who will let all manner of crap, like crony capitalism and incompetence otherwise go by the wayside.

    Would you refuse to rescue one drowning person in a group for the reason that you currently are unable to save all of them?

  9. well, I for one will pay attention to what Judge Lewis has to say for herself on Judgment Day. All the fancy Latin phrases and all the legal theory will just sound, I suppose, more sophisticated than “I was just following orders” but will result in more culpability to be sure.

    The look on her face when she realizes the pround statement summarized on a bumper sticker “if it ain’t a baby you’re not pregnant”. And the LORD asks her again “please finish this sentence: it’s okay to murder a baby when….”

    The Day will come. The Day will cone.
