South Carolina bill would offer compensation to women denied abortions.
South Carolina has a "heartbeat ban" in effect, prohibiting all abortions after fetal cardiac activity can be detected.
The bill would provide compensation for women who would have sought abortion care if not for the ban.
The state would also cover "reasonable living, legal, medical, psychological, and psychiatric expenses".
The bill would allow pregnant mothers to claim the fetus as a child.
Biological fathers would also be required to provide child support starting at the date when the fetal heartbeat was detected.
Money to pay for the bill would come from a fund established by the state's General Assembly .
The bill is still with the state Senate 's Medical Affairs Subcommittee .
