Bill > S0928

This bill, known as the "South Carolina Pro Birth Accountability Act," aims to compensate women who are legally required to carry their pregnancy to term and give birth due to a law prohibiting abortion upon detection of a fetal heartbeat. The bill provides various forms of compensation, including coverage of expenses related to the pregnancy and birth, eligibility for tax credits and state assistance programs, and funds for the child's future education. Additionally, the bill outlines a process for women to claim this compensation and establishes a dedicated fund for these payments. The bill also includes provisions for legal recourse if the woman or the fetus experiences complications or harm during the pregnancy.
