Pro-Choice

1. I wish her well, but I am not optimistic about this lawsuit's chances. I can just picture SC state legislators getting ready to amend this law as we speak, to remove any language that could be construed to conflict with the earlier cutoff they obviously intended. Still, more power to Shelton and Farris for their efforts. I really hope I'm wrong about their chances of success.

2. No matter which side wins or loses, I presume the decision will be appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court. I find that rather ironic, since they said in the Dobbs decision that these matters should be left up to the states. If SCOTUS agrees to hear this (or any other cases related to post-Dobbs abortion bans), they might as well out up a sign outside their building saying, "Yeah, we lied when we said the states should decide."

3. Speaking of irony, this bit from the article jumped out at me:

As my daughter used to say, "No duh." I mean, let's be real: that's the whole point of this law and others like it. Set the cutoff for getting an abortion early enough in pregnancy, and the whole thing takes care of itself!
