South Carolina Republican politicians distanced themselves from a widely criticized plan to outlaw offering abortion guidance online \u2014 a proposal that raised fears about internet censorship after the end of Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers introduced the proposed abortion ban<\/a> in June, basing it on model legislation from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC). Among other provisions, the proposal would have banned \u201chosting or maintaining an internet website, providing access to an internet website, or providing an internet service\u201d that told people from the state how to obtain an abortion. Groups like the Knight First Amendment Institute argued that the model legislation raised serious First Amendment questions<\/a>, and its introduction in South Carolina suggested states were interested in taking it up.<\/p>\n

But as reported by The State<\/em><\/a> and The Post and Courier<\/em><\/a> earlier this month and referenced by the Electronic Frontier Foundation<\/a> late last week, even lawmakers who support outlawing abortion asserted that they didn\u2019t support the measure. \u201cThere\u2019s no support for doing something like that,\u201d South Carolina Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, a Republican, told The Post and Courier<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Massey declared that \u201ceven people who are supportive of\u201d abortion restrictions didn\u2019t like the bill. Similarly, Republican Governor Henry McMaster said that<\/a> \u201ceveryone has a constitutional right of the First Amendment to say things, to speak,\u201d and \u201csuch a restriction, I think, I\u2019m confident would not pass the House or the Senate.\u201d And yesterday, the South Carolina House of Representatives passed<\/a> HB 5399<\/a>, an abortion ban that\u2019s restrictive but doesn\u2019t include the language about websites and service providers.<\/p>\n

This is no guarantee that the law won\u2019t crop up elsewhere. But it\u2019s a mildly encouraging data point in the fight over speech and abortion \u2014 even if that\u2019s a small part of the larger public health issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
