Republicans GO FULL HANDMAID'S TALE with NEW BILL - Legal AF



South Carolina just advanced a bill banning abortion from clinical diagnosis — no exceptions for rape, incest, or fatal fetal anomaly. Women face up to 2 years in prison. Doctors face 20.

Former prosecutor Melba Pearson breaks down the Unborn Child Protection Act — and why the woman who drove 8 hours to Illinois to save her life would be a criminal under this bill. - 05/16/2026.

I put nothing past these fuckers.

If you help her get an abortion, will they charge you with child abuse, or endangering the welfare of a child (or two children even), and just maybe they will take her away for her own "protection"?

Think it can't happen? Think again!

BTW ... girls as young as 9 can become pregnant.

These people are pure evil!
