COLUMBIA, S.C.—A South Carolina senator has reintroduced legislation that would ban abortions in the state and possibly criminalize the act.

Nearly 100 people gathered in the Statehouse on Feb. 7, for an anti-abortion event, calling on lawmakers to pass “personhood” legislation, which would stipulate that life begins at conception and grant the unborn at that moment all rights as any other citizen.
