SC Senate in Effect Refuses to Even Shut Down Any “Abortion” Centers in South Carolina, by a vote of 17 Y to 26 N (3 Not Voting)
______________________________________________

Note: Neither the SC House nor the SC Senate versions of H5399 establish legal recognition of Personhood for preborn children at fertilization, and therefore neither version provides for equal protection of the laws, and therefore neither version establishes Justice. The just course of action for the SC House and SC Senate to take is to pass the Personhood Act of SC (H5401 / S1335), not H5399.

On Tuesday, October 18 the SC Senate had the opportunity to either Accept the SC House version of H5399 or to Insist on the Senate’s version.

By a vote of 17 Y to 26 N, the SC Senate refused to “Recede” from its watered-down, revised six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399. If the Senate had receded from it’s own H5399 version, that in effect would have meant the House version passes, and would have been sent to SC Governor.

The SC House version would have banned approx. 98% of surgical and RU486 “abortions” in SC and so would likely have completely stopped surgical and RU486 “abortions” at the two Planned Parenthood “abortion” centers in South Carolina (Columbia and Charleston) with part-time abortionists, and would have stopped most elective “abortions”-on-demand at Buffkin and Campbell’s privately-owned Greenville “abortion” center .

The Senate six-week Heartbeat Bill version would stop about 52% of surgical and RU486 “abortions” in SC.

‘Gov. McMaster says agreement on tighter abortion restrictions in SC “might take some time” ‘
https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article267302977.html
UPDATED OCTOBER 16, 2022

On September 8, 2022, the Senate Majority Leader Senator Shane Massey (EDGEFIELD) proposed a version of H5399 which was substantively very similar to the SC House version, with the primary difference being an additional “exception” to banning the murder of children in the womb. This H5399 version would have banned approximately 97% (using State of Florida 2020 statistics) of surgical and RU486 “abortions”. An attempt to Table this version failed on a 20 Y to 24 N vote.  Since the Tabling motion failed, pro-“abortion” Senator Tom Davis (BEAUFORT) began to filibuster Senator Massey’s proposal.

After only about 20 minutes of Senator Davis’ “filibuster”, Senator Massey called for a Cloture vote to stop the threatened filibuster. The SC Senate came within two votes of doing so. The Cloture vote was 24 Y to 20 N to end the filibuster, but under Senate Rules, 26 votes were needed. There are 30 “Republicans” in the SC Senate. These five pro-“abortion” “Republicans” voted against Cloture on the H5399 version which would have banned 97% of surgical and RU486 “abortions”: Senators Tom Davis (BEAUFORT), Penry Gustafson (KERSHAW), Greg Hembree (HORRY), Sandy Senn (CHARLESTON), and Katrina Shealy (LEXINGTON). The sixth “Republican” who failed to vote for cloture was Senator Luke Rankin (HORRY) who departed (fled?) the Senate chamber about 25 minutes before the cloture vote on “Leave” *** (!?).

The Senate then passed its watered-down, revised six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399, which would ban approximately 52% (using 2021 SC DHEC statistics) of surgical and RU486 “abortions” in South Carolina.

On Tuesday, September 27, the SC House, by a vote of 95 to 11, non-concurred with the SC Senate’s watered-down version of H5399, which the Senate had amended on September 8 into a revised six-week Heartbeat Bill:

‘SC House Non-Concurs with SC Senate’s watered-down, revised six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399 – September 27, 2022; Bill H5399 now goes back to the SC Senate; SC Senate returns for Special Session October 18, 2022’

The Bill H5399 now goes back to the SC Senate. The SC Senate has been called back to return for a Special Session on October 18, 2022. The SC Senate then must first decide whether to “Insist” on its version of H5399, in which case the Bill would be given to a six-man Conference Committee ( three Representatives, three Senators ) to attempt to work out a compromise which both the House and the Senate can accept; or, alternatively, on October 18, the SC Senate could decide, to not “Insist” on its version of H5399, but to “Recede” from its version, which in effect, allows the House version of H5399 to pass, and to be sent to SC Governor Henry McMaster. The House version of H5399 would ban approximately 98% (using State of Florida 2020 statistics) of surgical and RU486 “abortions”.

THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE NOT HEARING STATED PUBLICLY BY EITHER THE SENATE “REPUBLICAN” MAJORITY LEADER SHANE MASSEY (EDGEFIELD), NOR FROM THE SC GOVERNOR HENRY McMASTER, NOR FROM THE SC LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR PAM EVETTE, NOR FROM THE SC SENATE PRESIDENT THOMAS ALEXANDER (OCONEE), NOR FROM THE SC HOUSE SPEAKER MURRELL SMITH (SUMTER), NOR REPORTED WITHIN THE ARTICLE FROM THE STATE (ABOVE):

It is important to understand that at this point procedurally on October 18, A SIMPLE MAJORITY OF THE SC SENATE WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO “INSIST” UPON OR NOT TO “INSIST” UPON (TO “RECEDE” FROM) THE SENATE AMENDMENT TO H5399 MADE ON SEPTEMBER 8. There will be a Motion on the SC Senate floor by Republican Majority Leader Shane Massey (Edgefield) either to “Insist” or to “Recede”, and a vote will be taken, without debate (which means no potential filibuster). A simple majority vote determines the outcome.

UPDATED OCTOBER 16, 2022
Excerpt:

‘And in an emailed legislative update sent Friday (10/14) by Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, the Edgefield Republican and self-described “pro-life” [sic – supports “exceptions”] senator further cleared up the bill’s chances of passing.’

‘Massey, who supports an abortion ban but ultimately voted for the Senate version of the bill last month after Republicans failed to find enough support for a near-total ban, said the House version “likely endangers” the state’s current abortion restrictions and he therefore “cannot support that.” ‘
___________________________________________________________

As for Senator Massey’s reported criticism that “the House version ‘likely endangers’ the state’s current abortion restrictions”, that could be quickly fixed by separate legislation if there was the will to do so in the SC House and SC Senate, by repealing Section 44-41-20 of the 1976 Code and amending three other sections affected by that repeal (as is included in the version of H5399 passed by the Senate on September 8). Senator Massey’s excuse for not supporting the House version on October 18 is a smokescreen. The failure so far of the SC Legislature to fix what the SC State Supreme Court identified as a problem two months ago in the very first paragraph of its August 17, 2022 Order could be promptly remedied by passing separate, stand-alone legislation with the cooperation of the SC House and SC Senate.

The Supreme Court of South Carolina
Order 2022-08-17-01
https://www.sccourts.org/courtOrders/displayOrder.cfm?orderNo=2022-08-17-01

In 1973, the United States Supreme Court recognized in the Constitution a woman’s right to an abortion as a matter of privacy. See Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, 153-54 (1973), overruled by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org., 142 S. Ct. 2228 (2022). The South Carolina legislature responded in 1974 by essentially codifying the Roe framework. See Act No. 1215, 1974 S.C. Acts 2837 (codified as amended in scattered sections of S.C. Code Ann. §§ 44-41-10 to -80) (2018)).1  In 2021, the Fetal Heartbeat and Protection from Abortion Act (the Act) was enacted.  See S.C. Code Ann. §§ 44-41-610 to -740 (Supp. 2021).  Section 44 41 710 of the Act provides that its enactment “must not be construed to repeal, by implication or otherwise, Section 44-41-20 [(the codification of Roe)] or any otherwise applicable provision of South Carolina law regulating or restricting abortion.”  It necessarily follows that the codification of Roe in section 44-41-20 remains part of the public policy of this state, notwithstanding the recent Act.  This legislative history, combined with the result in Dobbs, brings us to the current dispute in the Court’s original jurisdiction.” [ Emphasis added ]
____________________________________________________________

Note: This problem highlights the continued inclusion of the Roe trimester framework in the SC Code of Laws [Section 44-41-20], and is yet another example of the bad fruit of incremental “abortion” regulation laws which have PERPETUATED “abortion” in South Carolina for over 25 years.
____________________________________________________________

Neither the SC House nor the SC Senate versions of H5399 establish Justice. Without the legal recognition of personhood for preborn children at fertilization, neither version provides for equal protection of the laws, and are therefore unjust pieces of legislation. The just course of action for the SC House and SC Senate to take is to pass the Personhood Act of SC (H5401 / S1335), not H5399.

SC House Non-Concurs with SC Senate’s watered-down,
revised six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399 – September 27, 2022;
Bill H5399 now goes back to the SC Senate;
SC Senate returns for Special Session October 18, 2022
_______________________________________________

BACKGROUND

On Wednesday, August 31, the SC House passed (67 Y – 35 N; 3rd reading) its version of H5399 “South Carolina Human Life Protection Act” [sic] (see features of Bill below), and the Bill was sent to the SC Senate further debate.

On Thursday, September 8, the SC Senate passed (27 Y – 16 N; 3rd reading) its watered-down, revised six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399, and the Bill was sent back to the House to either: 1) Concur and send to the Governor; or 2) Non-Concur and send back to the Senate for either acceptance of the House version, or if not, then to send the Bill to a Conference Committee to try to work out a compromise; or 3) Amend and send back to the Senate for further debate.

Note: Neither the SC House (H5399) nor the SC Senate (H5399) passed statutory “personhood” (H5401/S1335) language in their respective original Bills.
________________________________________________

CURRENT STATUS

On Tuesday, September 27, the SC House, by a vote of 95 to 11, non-concurred with the SC Senate’s watered-down version of H5399, which the Senate had amended on September 8 into a revised six-week Heartbeat Bill.

The Bill H5399 now goes back to the SC Senate. The SC Senate has been called back to return for a Special Session on October 18, 2022. The SC Senate then must first decide whether to “Insist” on its version of H5399, in which case the Bill would be given to a six-man
Conference Committee ( three Representatives, three Senators ) to attempt to work out a compromise which both the House and the Senate can accept; or, alternatively, on October 18, the SC Senate could decide, to not “Insist” on its version of H5399, but to “Recede” from its version, which in effect, allows the House version of H5399 to pass, and to be sent to SC Governor Henry McMaster.

It is important to understand that at this point procedurally on October 18, A SIMPLE MAJORITY OF THE SC SENATE WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO “INSIST” UPON OR NOT TO “INSIST” UPON (TO “RECEDE” FROM) THE SENATE AMENDMENT TO H5399 MADE ON SEPTEMBER 8. There will be a Motion on the SC Senate floor by Republican Majority Leader Shane Massey (Edgefield) either to “Insist” or to “Recede”, and a vote will be taken, without debate (which means no potential filibuster). A simple majority vote determines the outcome.

Back on September 8, when Senator Massey made his cloture Motion at 5:18 pm, to stop a threatened filibuster, the cloture vote was 24Y – 20N **, just two votes short of the required 26 votes for cloture. [ This threatened filibuster was against a version of H5399 which would have banned committing an “abortion” on “a woman known to be pregnant”, but with all the exceptions of so-called life/serious health of the mother, rape/incest, and fatal fetal “anomaly” [sic]. Similar to the SC House version (which did not have a fatal fetal “anomaly” [sic] exception), this SC Senate version, which was not adopted because of the threatened filibuster and failed cloture vote, would have banned approximately 97% (using State of Florida 2020 statistics) of surgical and RU486 “abortions”. It was after the failure of this cloture vote that the Senate Bill was then amended to become the Senate’s final watered-down, revised six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399. ]

** SC Senate Journal – September 8, 2022
https://scstatehouse.gov/sess124_2021-2022/sj22/20220908.htm

[ Note: The five pro-“abortion” “Republicans” who voted against cloture on the H5399 version which would have banned 97% of surgical and RU486 “abortions” were: Senators Tom Davis (BEAUFORT), Penry Gustafson (KERSHAW), Greg Hembree (HORRY), Sandy Senn (CHARLESTON), and Katrina Shealy (LEXINGTON). The sixth “Republican” who failed to vote for cloture was Senator Luke Rankin (HORRY) who departed (fled?) the Senate chamber about 25 minutes before the cloture vote on “Leave” *** (!?). ]

*** SC Senate Journal – September 8, 2022
https://scstatehouse.gov/sess124_2021-2022/sj22/20220908.htm

However, in the 46-member Senate (30 R, 16 D), 24 votes is a simple majority.

Therefore, when the SC Senate returns for the Special Session on October 18, THE SAME 24 SC SENATORS WHO VOTED FOR H5399 CLOTURE ON SEPTEMBER 8, WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO PREVAIL ON A VOTE TO “RECEDE”, AND ALLOW THE SC HOUSE VERSION OF H5399 TO PASS.
______________________________________________________

All that said, the JUST action (Micah 6:8, Amos 5:15, Proverbs 21:3, KJV) for the SC Legislature to take has not been to pass the unjust SC Senate version of H5399, which would ban approximately 52% of the surgical and RU486 child-murders by “abortion” in South Carolina; nor to pass the unjust SC House version of H5399, which would ban approximately 98% of the surgical and RU486 child-murders by “abortion” in South Carolina; but to pass Personhood Bills H5401/S1335 to ESTABLISH JUSTICE and ultimately END AND ABOLISH ALL CHILD-MURDER BY “ABORTION” IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The SC House had the option of amending H5399 with the Personhood Bills H5401/S1335 language on September 27; however the SC House voted only to non-concur with the SC Senate’s watered-down, revised six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399.

SC HOUSE VERSION OF H5399

The SC House version of H5399 “South Carolina Human Life Protection Act” [sic] passed August 30, 2022 (2nd reading) has these features:

1) Bans “abortion” beginning at point of “clinically diagnosable pregnancy” [ i.e., not at conception ] with these “exceptions“:
a) So-called life/serious health of the mother  [ See DublinDeclaration.com ]
b) Rape/incest

2) Describes ‘Unborn human being’ or ‘unborn child’ or ‘preborn child’ or ‘preborn human being’ or ‘fetus’ with the Creator and Creation-denying Darwinian Evolutionary terminology “organism of the species homo sapiens”  [ See “Homo sapiens” ]

3) Restricts practice associated with in vitro fertilization of “selective reduction” (destroying “excess” embryos implanted in woman’s uterus); does not ban “pre-implantation genetic screening” (eugenics); nor indefinite cryo-freezing of embryos; nor disposal or unwanted frozen embryos; nor donation of frozen embryos for medical “research” (destruction).

4) Does not ban certain “birth control” methods which are capable of functioning not only as contraceptives, but alternatively as abortifacients. Such “birth control” methods are generally, incompletely and inaccurately only called “contraceptives”, when in fact these drugs and devices are capable of functioning either as contraceptives or as abortifacients. Such “birth control” is capable of causing the early chemical “abortion” of human lives by disrupting implantation of these human beings in the uterus at 6 – 10 days after fertilization. Human life begins at fertilization (conception), not implantation.


5) Does not statutorily recognize the Creator God-given personhood of every human being beginning at fertilization, with no exceptions, and therefore does not provide due process, nor equal protection of the laws, and therefore does not establish justice.

6) Would ban approximately 98% (using State of Florida 2020 statistics) of surgical and RU486 “abortions” in South Carolina. This would likely bring an end to all surgical and RU486 “abortions” at the two Planned Parenthood “abortion” centers in Columbia and Charleston, and would bring an end to at least 98% of the surgical and RU486 “abortions” at the Greenville Women’s “Clinic” [sic].
_____________________________________________________

SC SENATE VERSION OF H5399

The SC Senate watered-down six-week Heartbeat Bill version of H5399 “… TO PROHIBIT ABORTIONS IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA ” [sic] passed September 8, 2022 (3rd reading) has these features:

1) Repeals the “Roe vs. Wade” framework in “SECTION 44-41-20. Legal Abortions.” that currently exists in the SC Code of Laws, Title 44, Chapter 41: “Section 44-41-20 of the 1976 Code is repealed.”

2) Bans committing “an abortion on a pregnant woman” carrying a “human fetus” “whose fetal heartbeat has been detected …” [ i.e., protection beginning at approximately six-weeks after conception ], and with these “exceptions”:
a) So-called life/serious health of the mother  [ See DublinDeclaration.com ]
b) Rape/incest
c) Fatal fetal “anomaly” [sic]

3) Codifies State funding of “abortions” for so-called life/serious health of the mother, rape, and incest cases in the State Health Insurance Plan.

4) No State funds “to purchase fetal tissue obtained from an abortion or fetal remains,…”

5) No State funds for Planned Parenthood for “abortions”.

6) Does not restrict practice associated with in vitro fertilization of “selective reduction” (destroying “excess” embryos implanted in woman’s uterus); does not ban “pre-implantation genetic screening” (eugenics); nor indefinite cryo-freezing of embryos; nor disposal or unwanted frozen embryos; nor donation of frozen embryos for medical “research” (destruction).

7) Does not ban certain “birth control” methods which are capable of functioning not only as contraceptives, but alternatively as abortifacients. Such “birth control” methods are generally, incompletely and inaccurately only called “contraceptives”, when in fact these drugs and devices are capable of functioning either as contraceptives or as abortifacients. Such “birth control” is capable of causing the early chemical “abortion” of human lives by disrupting implantation of these human beings in the uterus at 6 – 10 days after fertilization. Human life begins at fertilization (conception), not implantation.


8) Does not statutorily recognize the Creator God-given personhood of every human being beginning at fertilization, with no exceptions, and therefore does not provide due process, nor equal protection of the laws, and therefore does not establish justice.

9) Would ban surgical and RU486 “abortions” in South Carolina beginning at detection of a fetal heartbeat at approximately six-weeks. SC DHEC reported there were 6,279 “abortions” committed in South Carolina in 2021. Of these 3,272 or approximately 52% were committed at greater than six weeks post-fertilization age. So an estimated 48% (approx. 3,000) of the “abortions” committed in South Carolina would continue to be perpetrated under this SC Senate version of H5399.

______________________________________________

** “Abortion” centers in these 14 States have ceased committing surgical and RU-468 elective “abortion”; however this does not mean that surgical and RU486 “abortions” are necessarily completely banned within the State, because of exception(s) in State laws [TN has the strongest law]. There are also other potential factors which may affect “abortion” availability as well, including whether or not “abortions” allowed as “exceptions” must be committed in a hospital; and whether or not any “abortion” centers even exist within the State [ND has none, last one moved to MN; MISS has none, last one planned to move to NM]. Furthermore, no State is known to presently ban certain “birth control” methods which are capable of functioning not only as contraceptives, but alternatively as abortifacients. Such “birth control” methods are generally, incompletely and inaccurately only called “contraceptives”, when in fact these drugs and devices are capable of functioning either as contraceptives or as abortifacients. Such “birth control” is capable of causing the early chemical “abortion” of human lives by disrupting implantation of these human beings in the uterus at 6 – 10 days after fertilization.

So now what will the “Republican” near super-majority [80 R, 43 D] SC House do when it returns to Session on Tuesday, September 27 with the revised 6-week Heartbeat Bill watered-down version of H5399 the Senate passed ?

1) Cave and CONCUR***, and send “as is” to Governor McMaster; or,

*** KEEPING SOUTH CAROLINA’S THREE (3) GENOCIDAL CHILD-EXTERMINATION CENTERS IN GREENVILLE, COLUMBIA, AND CHARLESTON IN OPERATION

2) NON-CONCUR, and give to six-man House-Senate (3 Representatives, 3 Senators) Conference Committee; or,

3) AMEND, and send back to SC Senate ?
_______________________________________________

The just action for the SC Legislature to take, and for Christian pro-lifers in SC to support, is to strike all the current language of unjust H5399, and insert the text of Personhood Bills H5401/1335.

South Carolina Fake “Abortion” “Ban” [sic] Bill H5399 is Unjust

Published by:

Edited and Revised Sept 4, 2022

South Carolina Fake “Abortion” “Ban” [sic] Bill H5399 is Unjust

Isaiah 10:1;
Isaiah 5:20, KJV
______________________________________________________________

H5399 passed the SC House August 31 with multiple exceptions;
   [ Section 44-41-825. (rape/incest); Section 44-41-830. (so-called life/serious health of the mother) vs.  DublinDeclaration.com ]

H5399 does not protect human life beginning at conception;
   [ Section 44-41-810.(1) (protection only from point of “clinically diagnosable pregnancy”) ]

H5399 preserves the Roe framework in Chapter 41 (“Abortions’), Title 44 of the SC Code of Laws;
   [ Chapter 41, Title 44 of the SC Code of Laws is not repealed in Section 44-41-890. or elsewhere in H5399; legal status of “abortion” preserved in Section 44-41-825. and in Section 44-41-830. ]
   [ Aug 30, 2022 – Rep. Jonathon Hill (R-Anderson) at SC House podium during Second Reading H5399 debate rejects need for, and expresses concern about, H5399 leaving Chapter 41, Title 44 in the SC Code of Laws; believes possible “Roe-style” [judicial] decision coming out of South Carolina could result. Video, begin at 2:01:00 ]
     [ Aug 31, 2022 – Rep. Jonathon Hill (R-Anderson) voted “Nay” to Third Reading of H5399; included written statement for the Record in the SC House Journal, stating:
“While this Bill, H. 5399 …, purports to affirm life begins at conception, in reality it fails to establish equal [protection] under the law as required by the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. Furthermore, 44-41-825 protects the legal status of abortion, and will allow abortion mills to potentially remain open. This consequence is reflected in the fiscal impact statement, which states that “it is undetermined whether the Bill will affect [abortion clinic license fee] revenue.” For these and other reasons, I voted against this Bill on third reading. Rep. Jonathon D. Hill”


H5399 blasphemously refers to a preborn human being as an “individual organism of the species homo sapiens
[ Section 44-41-810.(7)  (compatible with Creator-denying Darwinian Evolution instead of Creation)

H5399 does Not Establish Justice.
[ One principal purpose stated in the Preamble for ordaining and establishing the United States Constitution is to “establish justice” ]
[ The Oath of Office taken by South Carolina Legislators concludes with the words “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of this State
and of the United States. So Help me God. — SC State Constitution, Art. III, Sec. 26. ]
__________________________________________________

On Tuesday, September 6, the SC Senate Medical Affairs Committee will take up H5399, and is expected to pass it out in some form, enabling the full SC Senate to begin debate Wednesday, September 7, at 10am.

Meanwhile, Senate Personhood Bill S1335 has been sitting in the SC Senate Judiciary Committee since May 12, and Chairman Senator Luke Rankin (R-Horry) has not yet taken action to move Bill S1335 forward.

There are at least two possible courses of action available::

1) If Chairman Senator Luke Rankin (R-Horry) decided to, he could add Senate Personhood Bill S1335 to the Agenda of the SC Senate Judiciary Committee Meeting which is already scheduled for Thursday, September 8, in Room 105, Senate Gressette Office Building, to hopefully*** pass Bill S1335 out of his Committee to the full SC Senate; and/or,

*** The 23-member SC Senate Judiciary Committee is comprised of 15 Republicans and 8 Democrats. Personhood Bills have previously been passed out of the SC Senate Judiciary Committee onto the full Senate Calendar in both 2016 (S719) and in 2018 (S217).

2) Members of the full SC Senate could decide to completely amend H5399 on the SC Senate floor, by striking all the current language of H5399, and inserting the language of S1335.

May the LORD’s will be done !
