Netflix password crackdown - Controversial inmate death - Raids hit Russian towns

1. Summary
   On Tuesday the South Carolina Senate approved a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The governor is expected to sign it. The measure makes exceptions for rape or incest, life-threatening situations, and fatal fetal anomalies. Most women do not know they are pregnant at six weeks.
   
   South Carolina Republicans said the state was increasingly becoming a haven for legal abortions as neighboring states restricted the procedure. The Senate's three female Republicans opposed the six-week ban, urging their colleagues to pass a 12-week ban instead. The bill's passage comes after the House failed to pass a bill banning abortion almost entirely.
   
   South Carolina's ban comes one week after North Carolina's legislature overrode Gov. Roy Cooper's veto to put a 12-week abortion ban into effect. The North Carolina law makes exceptions for rape or incest and provides $75 million to expand childcare subsidies. Similarly, after Florida's legislature approved a six-week abortion ban in April, it passed a bill expanding eligibility for children to get low-cost health insurance.
