From Daily Caller. The South Carolina Supreme Court upheld the state’s six-week ban on abortion Wednesday, reversing a previous decision.

The court, which became a conservative majority due to Justice Kaye Hearn retiring at the age of 72 in February, ruled in January that a similar law passed in 2021 violated a woman’s right to privacy under the state constitution. State legislators passed a new six-week ban in May and were immediately sued by Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, but this time the court determined in a 4-1 decision that South Carolina has a “compelling interest in protecting the lives of unborn children,” according to the ruling. …

The “Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act,” bans abortion after a heartbeat is detected, often at six weeks, with limited restrictions in the cases of rape and incest, or to preserve the physical health of the mother, according to the legislation. …

Chief Justice Donald Beatty was the sole holdout, writing in his dissent that the majority “abandoned previous precedent,” according to court documents.

Dear Heavenly Father, I praise You for this victory and ALL others to come. I know You heard me as I prayed this morning. I asked for You to remove all favor from Planned Parenthood, specifically that they fail to thrive. Only You know the vastness of their support but I pray You are removing it all and as a house of cards is doomed to crumble, so will they. I pray the same destruction for all the plans masquerading as health care. I pray Your favor on those who choose life and I ask this in the Name of The Author of Life, Jesus Christ. Amen
