The South Carolina GOP senator slammed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams for saying that fetal heartbeats are nonexistent at six weeks.
, addresses how an unborn child first reacts to touch at eight weeks' gestation; how eyes begin to form and conclude formation between five and 10 weeks; and how at 12 weeks an unborn child takes on"human form."
When previously asked about abortion limits, Abrams said it was a medical decision left to the woman, her physician and her family. Stacey Abrams speaks onstage during the Beautiful Noise Live Equality on the Ballot panel at Buckhead Theatre on September 19, 2022, in Atlanta, Georgia. On September 22, Abrams made comments about the fetal heartbeat at six weeks being"manufactured," drawing opposition from Senator Lindsey Graham., saying she avoided specific time limits due to ever-changing science. Now, if elected, she intends to pass legislation for the rights of women in Georgia.
"That right continues until a physician determines the fetus is viable outside of the body, except in the case of protecting the woman's life or health," she said. Abrams' campaign website says that in addition to protecting and expanding reproductive rights, she would"veto legislation that would further restrict abortion rights and work to repeal the six-week abortion ban.", and doctors have been clear that the so-called 'heartbeat law' is not medically accurate," Abrams campaign spokesperson Alex Floyd told
