'Unacceptable': Two Red States Each Fail To Pass Pro-Life Protections By One Vote

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : After the failure of the bill, abortion is still legal in the state through 22 weeks, making it a popular destination for women who want abortions in nearby conservative states.
39% : Another Republican, Sen. Sandy Senn, accused the Republican men of "metaphorically" slapping the women in the chamber because of the bill and compared it to "The Handmaid's Tale." "The only thing that we can do when you all, you men in the chamber, metaphorically keep slapping women by raising abortion again and again and again, is for us to slap you back with our words," she said.
38% : In South Carolina, five women (three Republicans, a Democrat, and an Independent) led the charge against the abortion ban, which would ban abortion from conception, making it the third time the body has failed to increase protections for the unborn since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
