South Carolina Senators: Vote NO on H.4760
South Carolina Senate
H.4760 isn't just another abortion bill--it represents a major expansion of government surveillance into private healthcare decisions.
If passed, this legislation would allow the state to monitor, investigate, and punish people for how they manage pregnancy-related care, including abortion medication. That creates fear not only for people seeking abortions, but also for those experiencing miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, or other medical emergencies. H.4760 would dramatically expand government surveillance into private healthcare decisions by targeting abortion medication. This bill invites the state to monitor, investigate, and punish people for how they manage their own reproductive healthcare. It would also affect people who need medications in the wake of a miscarriage or in post-delivery emergencies, bringing dangerous delays and the fear of criminal prosecution in labor and delivery units.
This bill threatens:
- Patient privacy by undermining the confidentiality of medical care
- Healthcare access by discouraging people from seeking timely treatment
- Public trust by turning medical decisions into potential evidence
- Civil liberties by normalizing surveillance in deeply personal moments
South Carolinians should not have to worry that their healthcare choices--or their communications with doctors, loved ones, or support organizations--could be scrutinized by the state.
Stopping H.4760 protects everyone's right to make medical decisions without fear, surveillance, or punishment.

We urge you to vote NO on H.4760.
H.4760 would dramatically expand government surveillance into private healthcare decisions by targeting abortion medication. This bill invites the state to monitor, investigate, and punish people for how they manage their own reproductive healthcare--or in moments of medical vulnerability, crisis, or loss.
This legislation goes far beyond abortion politics. It raises serious concerns about:
1. Government intrusion into private medical decisions
2. Erosion of patient privacy and doctor patient cofidentiality
3. Criminalization of healthcare providers and support networks
4. Chilling effects on people seeking miscarriage care and other pregnancy-related treatment
South Carolinians do not want a surveillance state. We do not want lawmakers inserting themselves into exam rooms, pharmacies, text messages to our friends, or personal health records. H.4760 would make those harms worse by adding fear, confusion, and the risk of criminalization.
As a member of the South Carolina Senate, you have a responsibility to protect your constituents' privacy, dignity, and freedom--not subject them to surveillance and suspicion.
