Josiah Magnuson


Josiah Magnuson is a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from the 38th district, serving since 2016. He is a member of the Republican Party.
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 sent a card to her desk, which described rape as a "misdeed of the parent" and said it does not justify having an abortion.
