The bill has already passed the state House, but now returns to the chamber for a final vote to resolve differences between its and the Senate’s version. It could be cleared and head to Republican Governor Nikki Haley’s desk. Haley’s office has not specifically commented on whether she will sign it, but she is pro-life and is expected to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
