South Carolina House conservative lawmakers have rejected what is being called a watered-down abortion measure that aimed to make the state's six-week abortion procedure ban more restrictive.

The rejection from lawmakers could indicate that the state plans on keeping the six-week ban in place, the Associated Press reported.
