Stop S.1095: Do Not Criminalize Mothers and Those Who Help Them
South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Committee
S.1095 is one of the most extreme anti-abortion bills introduced in South Carolina.
This bill doesn’t just restrict abortion—it creates a sweeping system of criminalization that could impact patients, providers, and anyone who helps someone access care.
Right now, S.1095 is moving forward in the Senate and is expected to be heard by the full Senate Medical Affairs Committee.
We cannot let this bill move forward.

Dear Members of the Senate Medical Affairs Committee,
I am writing to urge you to vote NO on S.1095.
This bill goes far beyond restricting abortion. It creates a system that could criminalize pregnant people, healthcare providers, and anyone who helps someone access care.
In South Carolina, many people already have to travel out of state for abortion care. Support like transportation, lodging, and financial assistance is often the only way someone can access healthcare. S.1095 would make that support legally risky.
This bill also removes critical exceptions and expands government involvement in deeply personal medical decisions.
S.1095 will not stop abortion. It will only make care more dangerous, more delayed, and more out of reach.
I urge you to reject this bill and instead support policies that protect the health and well-being of South Carolinians.
