South Carolina Governor candidates Johnson and Wilson debated topics including abortion, casinos, and gambling. The debate focused on key issues relevant to South Carolina voters.

South Carolina's Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee approved the Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortions once a pregnancy is clinically diagnosable and remove exceptions for rape, incest, and fatal fetal anomalies, allowing abortions only in medical emergencies. The bill now moves to the full Senate Affairs Committee and includes felony charges for doctors performing illegal abortions and misdemeanor charges for pregnant women, with supporters and opponents sharply divided on its impact.
