Politically Inclined Episode 14: The 'Fetal Heart Beat Bill'

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster signed the 'Fetal Heart Beat Bill' into law – a measure banning most abortions if a heartbeat is detected. However, shortly after, a federal judge blocked the measure from taking effect. On today's show, we break down all you need to know about where the law stands. We're joined by Alexia Newman of the Carolina Pregnancy Center and Richland County Councilwoman and Planned Parenthood organizer Allison Terracio to discuss the latest.
