Lawmakers in South Carolina have passed an abortion ban while a judge in Montana was weighing restrictions there. Those are the latest developments in the shifting landscape of law since the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned Roe v. Wade and the nationwide right to abortion. Nebraska on Monday adopted a 12-week ban just weeks after stricter ones narrowly failed in the conservative-dominated state. Last week, North Carolina lawmakers last week overrode the Democratic governor’s veto of a ban on abortion after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Meanwhile, a federal court is deciding whether to uphold a judge’s ruling rescinding approval for a drug used for abortion. The pill, mifepristone, remains on the market for now.
