‘No regret’: SC woman shares story of abortion

Katie had more than one abortion to prevent giving birth to child with a life-threatening genetic disease. She says women shouldn’t have to explain the circumstances of these decisions. SC lawmakers are weighing a fetal heartbeat abortion ban.

“I clung to 75%, hoping this is the healthy baby we wanted,” she recently told SC newspaper The State.
