Republican lawmakers in South Carolina have proposed a bill that seeks to redefine the term “person” to include the unborn. The South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act of 2023 would consider an “unborn child” which is aborted at any stage of development the victim of homicide, with protections afforded under the state’s assault laws.
The change to the state’s criminal code would effectively make a person who gets an abortion eligible for the death penalty, as reported by The Hill. The bill provides exceptions for abortion if a woman is under the imminent threat of death or great bodily injury but does not include exceptions for rape or incest.
