Two republican-led state legislatures voted this week on legislation that would restrict abortion access –
Something some of their fellow gop states have successfully passed —
But nebraska and south carolina’s attempt failed to make it through their state legislatures.
In nebraska —
A bill proposing to ban abortions at six weeks of pregnancy fell **one vote short from breaking a filibuster.
It was the cosigner of the bill who abstained from voting —
And kept the legislation from moving forward —
Citing concerns that women may not know they are pregnant at 6 weeks.
The south carolina bill would have largely banned abortion at conception.
But in another close vote — 22 to 21 — the bill failed in the senate –
Marking the third time the republican-led chamber has failed to pass an abortion ban since the overturning of roe versus wade nearly a year ago.
The results mean abortions remain legal in the two states until 22 weeks of pregnancy.
And it means even in red states — abortion is a touchy issue some state lawmakers would rather leave alone.
