South Carolina Bill Criminalizes Miscarriage: Outrage Erupts Over Controversial Legislation

South Carolina's Controversial Bill 3537: Criminalizing Miscarriage? South Carolina is considering a bill that could criminalize miscarriages, sparking outrage and debate. The proposed legislation, bill 3537, lacks exceptions for miscarriages, potentially leading to severe penalties for pregnant individuals. "This country looks more and more like The Handmaid's Tale every single day," says Spencer, a social media commentator who discusses the bill in a recent video. The bill's vagueness raises concerns about the definition of 'accident' and who decides if a miscarriage is a criminal act. The author's video highlights the potential for women to be charged with manslaughter or murder. Critics argue the bill is about control, not life. The bill also extends to assault laws, potentially criminalizing actions deemed harmful to a fetus regardless of pregnancy awareness. This raises questions about bodily autonomy and women's rights. The debate continues as the bill progresses through the South Carolina legislature.
