The South Carolina House of Representatives has approved a bill barring transgender athletes from competing in women's sports at public grade schools and universities.

The bill, which saw almost 1,000 proposed and rejected amendments, passed Tuesday with a vote of 82-28. The bill sparked hours of debate, despite the overwhelming vote in favor.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster signs into law a bill banning almost all abortions in the state Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021, in Columbia, S.C. On the same day, Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit to stop the measure from going into effect. The state House approved the "South Carolina Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act" on a 79-35 vote Wednesday and gave it a final procedural vote Thursday before sending it to McMaster.

In a 56-18 vote with a supermajority needed, the Republican-controlled House first voted to override Cox’s veto. Shortly after, the Senate gave final approval to override the veto by a vote of 21-8.
