Members of the South Carolina House approved a bill Tuesday that protects most preborn children from abortion. House Bill 5399<\/a>, which passed with a vote of 67-35, does include exceptions allowing abortion in cases of rape and incest up to 12 weeks after conception, with the requirement that the crime must be reported to law enforcement.<\/p>\n

As CNN reports<\/a>, the original text of the bill only included exceptions for the life of the mother or if there is a risk of\u00a0“the substantial physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman.” However, after that bill failed to pass as written, the amendments for rape and incest exceptions were added.<\/p>\n

Abortion doesn’t heal<\/a> the trauma of rape, and may serve to inflict another traumatic experience on the woman, whose child is killed. In such a situation, an innocent child is killed for the crimes of his father.<\/p>\n
