In 2019, during debate on a Heartbeat bill, Nancy Mace, one of Magnuson's Republican colleagues in the South Carolina House argued in favor of adding a rape and incest exception to the bill, and related her own experience of having been raped at age 16. Magnuson later distributed a series of pro-life postcards to each desk in the House, stating “It is a twisted logic that would kill the unborn child for the misdeed of the parent.” [3] [4]
