On February 15, 2023, the South Carolina House passed the Human Life Protection Act, H. 3774. This is in response to the South Carolina Supreme Court finding the previous Heartbeat Law was unconstitutional. The law clearly states the scientific fact that life begins at conception and the the bill removes the SC judicial bypass loophole. Now parental consent will be required for a minor to seek an abortion. York County Representatives Pope, Ligon, Moss, and Felder were all co-sponsors of the Bill, and Representatives Sessions and Guffey voted in favor of the Bill.
