The Latest: Senators OK rare Friday session over abortion
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Latest on a South Carolina Senate proposal to ban nearly all abortions (all times local):6:35 p.m.
South Carolina senators have voted to return for a rare Friday session as a debate over a ban on nearly all abortions in the state continues.
While the Senate failed in two votes to end the filibuster Thursday, they did decide to return on Friday instead of taking their typical four-day weekend.
Senators are debating a bill that would ban all abortions in South Carolina except in cases of rape, incest or threat to the life of the mother.
