The abortion fight has pushed GOP women out of South Carolina’s senate
- Sens. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson, and Katrina Shealy were removed from office during primaries, leaving the five-member "Sister Senators" with no Republican presence due to their opposition to the abortion ban.
- The Republican departures suggest no women in the majority party in the 2025 state Senate session, hindering female power in South Carolina and potentially reducing women's involvement in the Legislature for years.
- South Carolina Senate faces a minimal representation of women, with only two out of 46 members, historically reflecting a challenge for women's presence in the Legislature, especially before Shealy's election.
