Joe Cunningham Releases Statement on Senate Medical Affairs Committee Abortion Ban Vote
Democratic nominee for Governor Joe Cunningham today released the following statement regarding the South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Committee’s vote to advance a total abortion ban that strips the rape and incest exceptions from the version passed by the SC House last week:
“Governor McMaster’s allies in the State Senate voted today to advance the ‘McMaster version’ of the total abortion ban by going to the furthest extreme and removing exceptions for rape and incest. The governor’s allies in the legislature have decided that freedom only applies to some. They have decided that they know better than doctors and women on how to handle private medical decisions. They have decided that South Carolina women do not deserve to be full citizens with control of their own bodies. They have decided that the state government should be able to seize the body of a woman or child and force her to give birth regardless of being a victim of rape or incest.
Congratulations, Governor. You got what you wanted and all it cost was the fundamental freedom of every woman in South Carolina.”
