H.4760 is meant to stop access to abortion pills in SC.

Under this bill, anyone who helps a patient get abortion pills could face up to 50 years in prison and $100k in fines.

It aims to criminalize the people that care for abortion seekers and through that isolate and trap people who need care.

Cecil Elvir-Quinonez is a human being and a mother. Denying her the care that she needs is cruel and it's dangerous. Cecilβ€”and every other pregnant woman, whether detained or notβ€”deserves access to essential reproductive care.

No one should be punished for their abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth All pregnant people should be treated with dignity. Sign up to be part of the fight to change the law in your state.

We refuse to settle for state violence-lite.

Anti-abortion advocates are turning to sexist, 200-year-old laws that made it a crime to β€œconceal a birth” to investigate, arrest, and separate families.

Even before Roe fell, we’ve been defending people criminalized for how their pregnancies ended.

Now, without Roe, policing of pregnancy loss is rising, including states that have enshrined abortion rights in their constitution.
