Democrats in the South Carolina House have introduced hundreds of amendments in an effort to prolong debate on a bill that prohibits abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Senators confer during a break while debating amendments about the ban on abortion in the South Carolina Senate chamber on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, in Columbia, South Carolina.
