States introduce new laws after Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said the state’s abortion ban is now in effect after a federal judge lifted the injunction June 27.

The so-called Fetal Heartbeat Protection from Abortion Act prohibits abortion if cardiac activity can be detected, which is around six weeks of pregnancy -- before many women know they're pregnant.

If a heartbeat is detected, an abortion can only be performed if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, or if the mother's life is in danger.

“The Heartbeat Law is now in effect. Once Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, the decision on legally protecting the lives of unborn babies was returned to the states, so there was no longer any basis for blocking South Carolina’s Heartbeat Law,” Wilson said in a statement.

He continued, “Our state is now carrying out a government’s most sacred and fundamental duty, protecting life.”

Utah 3rd District Court Judge Andrew Stone issued a temporary restraining order on Monday blocking Utah's "trigger ban" on abortions.

Plaintiffs have demonstrated “irreparable harm here in allowing this law to go into effect immediately," Stone said. "I think the immediate effects of [what] will occur outweigh any policy interest of the state in stopping abortions immediately. Doctors here are threatened with felonies. The affected women are deprived of safe, local medical treatments to terminate pregnancies."

The temporary restraining order is effective immediately and lasts for 14 days. There will be a preliminary injunction hearing on July 11.

Planned Parenthood filed the challenge on Saturday.

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch said Monday she has certified the state's trigger law banning abortion following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade.

"Mississippi's laws to promote life are solid and thanks to the Court's clear and strong opinion in Dobbs, they can now got into effect," she said in a statement posted to Twitter.

She continued, "As we have said throughout the case, Roe v. Wade presented a false choice between a woman's future and her child's life."

The ban will go into effect in 10 days.

Under the new law, anyone who performs or attempts to perform an abortion in Mississippi will be charged with a felony, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The only exceptions are to save the mother's life or if the woman is a victim of rape, provided she has reported the crime to law enforcement.

Planned Parenthood of Utah announced Saturday that it filed a lawsuit in Utah state court to block the state's ban on abortions at any stage in pregnancy. Planned Parenthood said it would soon seek a temporary restraining order on the ban.

"Yesterday’s decision was devastating, but Planned Parenthood will never stop standing with and fighting for the rights of our patients and providers. Not now, not ever," said Karrie Galloway, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Association of Utah.

The suit claims that the rights promised under the Utah Constitution are more expansive than those under federal law, and remain unaffected by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision, Planned Parenthood said in a statement.
