The Pregnancy CARE Act protects pregnancy centers from government mandates and provides a private right of action for violations.
The Pregnancy CARE Act adds protections for pregnancy centers in South Carolina. It prohibits state and local governments from requiring these centers to offer, provide, or refer for abortions, abortion-inducing drugs, or contraception. It also bans counseling in favor of these options and restricts the provision of pregnancy-related resources. Violators face civil actions with damages and legal fees. The act defines "abortion" and "abortion-inducing drug" and ensures that pregnancy centers can operate without interference.
