South Carolina Court Puts Temporary Hold on Near-Total Abortion Ban
-------------------------------------------------------------------

A judge in South Carolina has suspended the state's ban on abortions
after six weeks of pregnancy until it can be reviewed by the South
Carolina Supreme Court. The temporary injunction was granted Friday, one
day after Republican Governor Henry Mc Master signed the legislation.
South Carolina's abortion ban provides only limited exceptions for rape
and incest survivors, or when a patient's life and health are in danger.
