The temporary stay on South Carolina's newly enacted six-week ban was issued by a judge who was selected and subsequently re-elected by Republicans.
Though South Carolina's previous six-week abortion ban was found to be unconstitutional by the state's highest court, Hearn—one of the deciding votes in that year's case and the only woman on the court—was term-limited under the South Carolina constitution, and was recently replaced by former South Carolina Appeals Court Judge D. Garrison Hill.
While Hill's nomination by Republicans made South Carolina the sole high court in the nation without a female justice, his views on abortion were not considered as part of the nomination by the Assembly's Judicial Merit Selection Commission, drawing some consternation from far-right members of the state legislature who believed judges' individual philosophies should be given greater scrutiny prior to nomination.

The ruling Friday by Judge Clifton Newman came just about 24 hours after Gov. Henry McMaster signed the bill. The decision means South Carolina reverts back to a ban around 20 weeks. The new law is similar to a ban on abortion once cardiac activity can be detected that lawmakers passed in 2021. Legislative leaders say the new law makes technical tweaks that should sway at least one justice to change his mind. Planned Parenthood says the differences shouldn't change the original ruling.
