SOUTH CAROLINA ABORTION CLINIC REGULATIONS WILL STAND.(Brief Article)
Concluding a fight begun in 1993, the United States Supreme Court without comment has refused to block a set of abortion clinic regulations enacted by the South Carolina legislature.
By refusing to hear the complaint filed by four South Carolina abortion providers against the Abortion Clinic Regulation Act, the High Court upheld an August 15, 2000, decision rendered by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In that 2-1 decision, the appeals court determined that the 27 pages of regulations
* did not strike at the abortion right itself;
* may modestly increase the cost of abortion but have not been shown to burden a woman's right to have an abortion;
* permissibly regulated abortion clinics as a class while other clinics or medical practices are not; and
* served a valid state interest and were in fact little more than a codification of recommendations from national medical and abortion associations designed to ensure the health of women seeking abortions.
"These reasonable health and safety regulations will continue to stand," said South Carolina Attorney General Charles Condon, who described the Supreme Court's February 26 decision as "very good news."
