Watch Republican Senator Tom Davis of South Carolina stand up to his own party and strongly oppose the MOST DRACONIAN abortion bill, ever written, that just advanced out of committee.
Davis, a Republican from Beaufort, was the only GOP senator on the Senate Medical Affairs Committee to vote no on advancing the measure (8-4 vote).
He has vowed to do everything possible—including fighting it on the Senate floor—to prevent the bill from becoming law.
Davis called the bill “cruel,” “out of step with where South Carolinians are,” and his party has “jumped the shark.”The bill would ban nearly all abortions starting at the moment of diagnosable pregnancy, eliminate current exceptions for rape, incest, and fatal fetal anomalies, and impose harsh criminal penalties: up to 20 years in prison for doctors or anyone assisting, and up to 2 years for the woman receiving the procedure under any and all circumstances.
