He’s been arrested at least ten times for interfering with people seeking care and is now sitting on the SC subcommittee trying to ban abortion, IVF, and birth control.
Blue background with images of anti-abortion pamphlets labeled “Chemical Abortion.” Text says: “He wants to take your right to abortion and then your right to birth control. How do we know? He told us.” Highlighted sections in the pamphlet show anti–birth control claims. Palmetto State Abortion Fund handle at bottom. Blue background with a photo of a “Pastors for Life” pamphlet and text quoting Richard Cash. He claims there is scientific research supporting opposition to birth control pills, cites Bogomir Kuhar of Pharmacists for Life International, and says addressing “chemical abortion” must begin in the church. Ends with “Jesus said, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Close-up of a pink “Pastors for Life” pamphlet page listing supposed “chemically induced abortions” caused by The Pill, IUD, Depo-Provera, and Norplant. White text reads: “They believe birth control pills, IUDs, Depo-Provera, and Norplant are all abortifacients.” Palmetto State Abortion Fund handle at bottom. Blue background with white text reading: “Don’t wait around for him or the Medical Affairs Subcommittee to prove us right, take action now! Call. Email. Write. Let our senators know that the extreme anti-abortion bill S.323 has no place in SC!” Palmetto State Abortion Fund handle and yellow arrow icon at bottom.

🚨 Sen. Richard Cash isn’t just another lawmaker — he’s an anti-abortion extremist with a long record of blocking clinic doors and targeting reproductive freedom.
Graphic with blue background and Palmetto State Abortion Fund logo. White text reads: “Sen. Richard Cash has been arrested at least ten times across multiple states for interfering with people seeking care at abortion clinics — and now he’s sitting on the subcommittee trying to ban abortions, IVF, and birth control in South Carolina.” Below, Richard Cash holds a black mugshot sign with his name. Blue background with white text explaining that Sen. Richard Cash has been affiliated with two Christian extremist anti-abortion groups — Pastors for Life and Operation Rescue — which partnered with Bethany Christian Services and Piedmont Women’s Center to organize opposition to abortion. Palmetto State Abortion Fund handle at bottom. Blue background with quote from Sen. Richard Cash admitting to being arrested ten times for “peaceful protests” at abortion clinics. Text lists his arrest dates and cities from 1989–1993, including Brookline, Hyannis, Charlotte, Columbia, Greenville, and Washington, D.C. Ends with: “Peaceful Protest = sitting in front of clinic doors preventing people from accessing their legally protected healthcare.” Blue background with text describing Sen. Richard Cash’s ties to Operation Save America. Notes that in 2021, members blockaded a Nashville abortion clinic, and participant Coleman Boyd was convicted for violating the FACE Act after livestreaming harassment of a patient and involving his child. Ends by stating Boyd continues to harass people at South Carolina clinics.

We were honored that a client turned friend was willing to share her story. A few months ago, Jamee was denied care for her ectopic pregnancy. The hospital denied her the care she needed, but we were able to connect her to an OB that was willing to help.

This is not how healthcare should operate.

On Monday, we delivered over 2,000 postcards to members of the South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee w/msgs from people across our state demanding lawmakers vote NO on S.323.

Every card carried a powerful truth: South Carolinians want safe, legal abortion care & will not be silenced.

Board President Carey and Secretary Marcurius speaking at the rally Wednesday morning.
Two people stand at a podium on the front steps of the South Carolina State House, with its tall columns and grand stone architecture in the background. One person, wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, and a blue cap, raises their hand while speaking. The other person, in a dark shirt and tan pants, stands beside them at the podium with an open laptop. A few people sit and walk on the steps behind them, and the sky is partly cloudy.

We delivered our petition against S.323 via email and hard copy. If you haven’t signed yet, go to our Linktree and add your name! We will keep this petition open until the bill is declared dead.

Stay tuned for updates on next steps and ways to continue fighting back.
A woman is holding a large stack of printed petition papers wrapped in plastic, with text visible on the top page referencing the South Carolina Statehouse. The scene takes place outside, in front of the Statehouse, where several people are gathered. The woman wears a black top with a multicolored striped detail and a denim jacket, along with a round red sticker that says “Stop the Ban.” The photo was posted on social media with text above stating that Ashlyn Preaux, of the Palmetto State Abortion Fund, has a petition with some 6,000 signatures opposing a bill.

Pregnancy is never black and white — which is why it cannot be legislated. No law can account for every possible medical scenario. Unexpected complications happen every day, and we must trust medical professionals to guide patients in making the best choices for them and their health.
A powerful graphic with a somber tone. The background shows a faded, blurred image of a person sitting with their head resting on their arms, conveying grief and exhaustion. Overlaid on top is a deep blue transparent layer. Centered in large, white serif text is a quote: “The grief and mourning of those longing to be parents should not, ever, coincide with a murder investigation.” — Kasey At the bottom, the Palmetto State Abortion Fund logo appears in black, featuring a stylized flower with a clenched fist at its center. The overall mood is serious and emotional, emphasizing the injustice and pain surrounding pregnancy loss being criminalized.

Anti-abortion groups are already pushing this false narrative, despite the science: IUDs are safe, effective contraception.

They don’t want you to know this, but we have to spread the word. S.323 is a direct threat to reproductive freedom in South Carolina!

🚨 S.323 doesn’t just attack abortion — it could take away birth control too.

The bill’s vague, extremist language opens the door for banning IUDs by classifying them as “abortifacients.”

🚨 ‼️

At 8:30 tonight, the South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Committee quietly sent out an email announcing that on October 1 at 9:30 a.m., a subcommittee will hear public testimony on Senate Bill S.323.
A digital graphic with a headline reading “BREAKING NEWS” in bold white and blue text. Below, large text says, “SC Abortion Ban… here they go again!” A smaller blue banner reads, “The GOP Senate is back on their bullshit.

It lists harmful elements of the bill, including: • No rape, incest, or fetal anomaly exceptions • Felony charges for doctors, nurses, and helpers • Criminalizes helping a minor leave the state • Allows civil lawsuits against abortion providers or anyone aiding in abortion • Allows lawsuits for “wrongful death” of an aborted fetus At the bottom, the text includes the handle: @PalmettoStateAbortionFund. The design uses blue and white with bold, urgent typography.

We stand with Adriana’s family in demanding dignity and justice.
A graphic from the Palmetto State Abortion Fund features a bold message on a crumpled light blue background. At the top is the organization’s logo—a palm tree within a female symbol—followed by the name “Palmetto State Abortion Fund.” The main text reads: “What is happening to Adriana Smith in Georgia is beyond unethical. Her family has not asked for this. Women are not incubators for the government. This crisis is further proof that far right and ‘pro-life’ (forced birth) movements are not pro-family or pro-woman. They are pro-control. They are pro-punishment. And they are willing to sacrifice the health, safety, and autonomy of pregnant people to push their extremist agenda.” At the bottom, in a dark blue box with bold white letters, it says: “Women deserve better. Black women deserve better.”

Our statement on today’s ruling from the South Carolina Supreme Court.

Help us fund abortion: www.donorbox.org/support-the-fund
A statement graphic from the Palmetto State Abortion Fund reacting to the South Carolina Supreme Court ruling. The header reads: “Statement from the Palmetto State Abortion Fund on the South Carolina Supreme Court Ruling.” The statement expresses deep disappointment in the Court’s decision to uphold the 2023 abortion ban based on a “fetal heartbeat” standard, criticizing the ruling as politically and ideologically motivated. It emphasizes that the decision harms Black, brown, rural, low-income, and young people by limiting access to essential health care. The graphic reaffirms PSAF’s mission to support abortion access in South Carolina and declares: “We are still here. We are still fighting.” The organization’s handle, @PalmettoStateAbortionFund, is at the bottom. The background is dark blue with gold and white text.

Abortion access is one way we care for moms.

💐 Support moms, support abortion funds!
