Creates a constitutional right to reproductive freedom in South Carolina, including abortion access, with exceptions.

This bill proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Constitution to establish a fundamental right to reproductive freedom. This right includes decisions about prenatal care, childbirth, contraception, abortion, miscarriage management, and infertility care. The state cannot deny, burden, or infringe upon this right unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means. The state may regulate abortion after fetal viability but cannot prohibit an abortion if medically necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant individual.
