SC State House
Columbia, SC

“Republican” near super-majority (30R – 16D) [65% R] SC Senate concurs with SC House Orwellian S474 Heartbeat Bill – May 23, 2023

By a vote of 27 Y – 19 N, with only the three pro-“abortion” RINO female senators (Gustafson, Senn, Shealy) voting No out of the 30 Republicans, the SC Senate concurred with the SC House Amendments to S474.
____________________________________________________

So features of S474 in the final Bill as passed May 23, 2023 to be sent to the SC Governor include:

Notes:

1. Features 1) and 2) below were also part of the original SC Senate version of S474 passed February 9, 2023 by a vote of 28 Y to 12 N.
2. Features 3) and 4) and 5) were CHANGES ADDED in the SC House Judiciary Constitutional Laws Subcommittee as part of the Jordan (“/McCravy”) strike all and insert Amendment #1 on May 9, 2023, and were retained by the SC House of Representatives as passed on May 17, 2023 (May 16/17) by a vote of 82 Y to 33 N on Second Reading, and as passed on May 17, 2023 by a vote of 82 Y to 32 N on Third Reading. The Senate concurred with the House version on May 23, 2023 by a vote of 27 Y – 19 N (without further Amendments).

 

1) Bans “abortions” after about 6 weeks, with multiple “exceptions”, thereby DECREASING surgical and RU486 “abortions” in South Carolina.

2) Section 44-41-610.(4)

Re-defines the term “Contraceptive” in SC Law [ Section 44-41-610. ] to also include a drug, device, or chemical that prevents implantation in the uterus of a one-week old or so human being after conception (“blastocyst” of 200-300 cells), which is actually an early “abortion” . This re-definition is a perversion of medical science and is Orwellian.

3) SECTION 3. / Section 44-41-90.(A)

CODIFIES in permanent SC Law the FUNDING of certain “abortions” in the State Health Insurance Plan (instead of appearing annually in the State Budget, Section 108/PEBA, Part 1B Provisos).

S474 provides for FUNDING of “abortions” through the State Health Insurance Plan in the cases of so-called life/serious health of the mother [ despite the counter-indication of the www.DublinDeclaration.com ], rape/incest, and so-called fatal fetal “anomaly” [sic – euthanasia].

[ This after repeated Annual SC State Budget battles over many years in both the SC House and the SC Senate over the funding of State Health Insurance Plan “abortions”, going back well over a decade to at least 2010 in the SC House and SC Senate !!! ]

4) SECTION 5. / Section 38-71-146

Mandates all private, group, and HMO insurance policies in the State cover “contraceptives” [sic], which consistent with the perversion of the definition of “contraceptive” also includes abortifacients, thereby likely INCREASING the number of early “abortions” by abortifacient birth control in South Carolina (there is a religious exemption).

5) SECTION 11.

Provides “contraceptives”‘ [sic], which includes abortifacients, to the DEPENDENTS (e.g., young adults) of employees covered by the State “Health” Plan, with which to FORNICATE, facilitating corruption of the morals of youth, and likely INCREASING the number of early “abortions” by abortifacient birth control in South Carolina.


______________________________________________

Therefore:

1) S474 once again incrementally regulates [ PERPETUATES ] the murder of children in the womb; S474 is NOT a “pro-life” bill, it is a pro-“abortion” bill.

2) ORWELLIAN S474 HEARTBEAT BILL INCLUDES FALSELY DEFINING “CONTRACEPTIVE” AS ALSO PREVENTING IMPLANTATION, WHICH OCCURS ONE WEEK OR SO AFTER CONCEPTION !!!

HOW CAN A CONTRACEPTIVE BE DEFINED AS WORKING AFTER CONCEPTION !!!???

AS A RESULT, S474 IN EFFECT, ALTHOUGH NOT EXPLICITLY STATED, IS THEREFORE EFFECTUATING A FALSE DEFINITION FOR EARLY ACTUAL ONE-WEEK OR SO “ABORTIONS” AS CONTRACEPTION !!!

THIS IS ORWELLIAN. THIS RE-DEFINITION OF “CONTRACEPTIVE” TO INCLUDE ABORTIFACIENT FUNCTIONALITY VIOLATES TRUE BIOLOGY, TRUE SCIENCE, AND PLAIN ENGLISH.

Human life begins at conception/fertilization, NOT implantation.

“… JUSTICE STANDETH AFAR OFF; FOR TRUTH IS FALLEN IN THE STREET”  Isaiah 59:14, KJV

THERE IS NO TRUTH, …, NOR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THE LAND.  Hosea 4:2, KJV

3) S474 codifies in permanent SC Law the FUNDING of certain “abortions” in the State “Health” Plan; S474 is NOT a “pro-life” bill, it is a pro-“abortion”-FUNDING bill.

4) S474 mandates birth control, including abortifacients, to be covered by all private, group, and HMO insurance policies in the State (there is a religious exemption), thereby likely INCREASING abortifacient birth control “abortions” in South Carolina; S474 is NOT a pro-life bill, it is a pro-“abortion” bill.

5) S474 provides birth control, including abortifacients, to the DEPENDENTS (e.g. young adults) of employees on the State “Health” Plan, facilitating FORNICATION by young people, and likely INCREASING abortifacient birth control “abortions” in South Carolina; S474 is NOT a pro-chastity bill, it is a pro-fornication bill; S474 is NOT a pro-life bill, it is a pro-“abortion” bill.

Paul the apostle, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, warned against doing evil that good may come (see Romans 3:8, KJV).

The ends do NOT justify the means. That is jesuitical, not Biblical thinking.

Isaiah 5:20, KJV
______________________________________________

We have known how to END “abortion” for over 50 years; it’s written right in the text of the 1973 Roe v Wade Opinion*:  PERSONHOOD.

* [ IX. A. ] “If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s [pro-“abortion”] case, of course, collapses, [410 U.S. 113, 157]   for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.”

When the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ agrees with God and unites around the purpose of Establishing Justice (and not just incrementally regulating “abortion” to try to “save babies”), then child-murder by “abortion” will END.

What is the chief purpose of man ?  It is to GLORIFY GOD.
Romans 11:36; I Corinthians 10:31, KJV

Does this Bill S474 Glorify God ?  How can it when it violates His Word in so many ways [ e.g., Exodus 20:13; Matthew 19:18; 1 Corinthians 6:9,10,18, KJV ]

God says,
“Thou shalt not kill (murder).”
Exodus 20:13, KJV

William Blackstone
Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769)
[ excerpts, emphasis added ]

INTRODUCTION
Sect. 2:  Of the Nature of Laws in General

English jurist William Blackstone wrote over 250 years ago:

“Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.”

He described the revealed or divine law thusly:

“The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures.”

Blackstone specifically addressed the crime of murder:

“To instance in the case of murder: this is expressly forbidden by the divine, and demonstrably by the natural law; and, from these prohibitions, arises the true unlawfulness of this crime. … Nay, if any human law should allow or injoin us to commit it, we are bound to transgress that human law, or else we must offend both the natural and the divine.”

This Bill S474 allows the crime of murder to be committed. S474 is therefore an offense to “both the natural and the divine”.

The Bible says,
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: …”
Proverbs 29:18, KJV

ESTABLISH JUSTICE NOW !!!

PASS PERSONHOOD NOW !!!

“Republican” super-majority SC House passes Orwellian S474 Heartbeat Bill – May 17, 2023
_____________________________________________

HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL WORKS BOTH CONTRACEPTIVELY AND ABORTIFACIENTLY.

S474 Heartbeat Bill as passed by the South Carolina House May 17, 2023 will DECREASE surgical/RU486 “abortions” recorded in South Carolina.

However S474 Heartbeat Bill will also likely INCREASE “abortions” caused by abortifacient birth control drugs and devices.

Human Life begins at conception/fertilization, NOT implantation.
_____________________________________________

S474 tells a BIG LIE in Section 44-41-610.(4) by FALSELY including in the definition of “Contraceptive” a drug, device, or chemical that prevents “the implantation of a fertilized ovum* in a woman’s uterine wall after conception.” THAT IS NOT THE ACTION OF A CONTRACEPTIVE. THAT IS THE ACTION OF AN ABORTIFACIENT. THAT IS AN EARLY “ABORTION” AT ABOUT ONE WEEK OR SO AFTER CONCEPTION/FERTILIZATION. Notice in the definition of “Contraceptive” itself, it says, “AFTER CONCEPTION”. For S474 to claim a drug, device, or chemical that works AFTER CONCEPTION is somehow to be called a “Contraceptive” is ORWELLIAN. IT IS A LIE.

* This definition is further in medical, biological, and scientific ERROR by stating it is a “fertilized ovum” that implants in the woman’s uterine wall. That also is FALSE. It is NOT a one-celled “fertilized ovum” but a 200-300 cell human embryo termed a “blastocyst” which implants in the endometrial lining of the woman’s uterus at 6 to 12 days AFTER conception/fertilization. This human embryo is living and exhibiting cell division (mitosis) as it has grown from a one-cell fertilized ovum into a 200-300 cell blastocyst at the time of implantation about one-week or so AFTER CONCEPTION/FERTILIZATION.

‘Yes, Some Contraceptives Are Abortifacients’
National Review
November 4, 2016
https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/11/contraception-birth-control-abortion-abortifacients-ella-plan-b-iud-embryo-life/

Excerpts:

“Pro-abortion-rights activists employ a neat semantic trick to evade and ignore the scientific details of abortifacient drugs: redefining “pregnancy” to mean “the implantation of an embryo in the uterine lining.” Thus any drug that prevents implantation of an existing embryo prevents pregnancy rather than aborting an existing one. Semantics aside, the crucial, underlying question is whether these birth-control methods cause embryonic death.”

“As Donna Harrison has explained at NRO, an IUD’s manipulation of the hormone progesterone causes a woman’s body to reject any embryo that might be formed after ovulation, rather than wholly stopping ovulation from occurring. The copper material in some IUDs has been shown to be toxic to an embryo, leading to its death or, if it survives, abnormal development. Furthermore, an IUD’s manipulation of the uterine lining accounts for the fact that, among women who become pregnant while using an IUD, there is a high rate of ectopic pregnancy, in which the embryo implants somewhere outside the uterus.”

**
These are the THREE Republican SC Senators on Leave Thursday, April 27,
who were absent for the critical, consequential vote to “Continue” [end debate for the current Session] H3774:

Chip Campsen (CHARLESTON)

Stephen Goldfinch (GEORGETOWN)
– Goldfinch is reported to have been on leave because of National Guard duty

Ross Turner (GREENVILLE)

IF THERE HAD BEEN ONE MORE VOTE TO VOTE “NO” TO THE MOTION TO “CONTINUE” THE BILL ON APRIL 27, THAT MOTION WOULD HAVE FAILED.
_____________________________________________

South Carolina has in recent months been killing nearly 1,000 children in the womb by surgical and RU486 “abortion” EACH MONTH, many being brought from outside South Carolina to be killed in the Palmetto State which has become an “abortion” destination
magnet State in the Southeast United States. If further debate on H3774 is postponed until January 2024, there may be close to another 8,000 children in the womb slaughtered in South Carolina from May 2023 to December 2023, in addition to the estimated 7,000 murdered already in South Carolina since the Dobbs decision June 24, 2022.

https://abortionno.org/abortion-photos/
__________________________________________

Prior to the vote to “Continue” [ending debate for the current Session], there was another Cloture vote taken (Senate Rule 15A), which failed by a vote of 21 Yes – 22 No.

Voting “NO” were all 16 Senate Democrats plus the same SIX pro-“abortion” RINO Senate fake*** “Republicans” from Wednesday, April 26:

Tom Davis  (BEAUFORT)
Penry Gustafson  (KERSHAW)
Greg Hembree  (HORRY)
Luke Rankin  (HORRY)
Sandy Senn  (CHARLESTON)
Katrina Shealy  (LEXINGTON)

__________________________________________

So, together with the THREE Republicans on Leave [ Campsen, Goldfinch, Turner ], there were only 21 Republican “Yes” votes for Cloture out of the 30 “Republicans” nominally in the SC Senate [ 30 minus SIX minus THREE equals 21 ].

The SC Senate has a “Republican” near super-majority (30 R, 16 D) and needed only 26 “Yes” votes on cloture to stop the filibuster by pro-“abortion” Democrat and pro-“abortion” RINO “Republican” Senators.

The Roll Call vote on the April 27 Cloture (Senate Rule 15A) vote, and on the vote to “Continue” can be seen here:

The SC Senate has a “Republican” near super-majority (30 R, 16 D) and needed 26 “Yes” votes on cloture to stop pro-“abortion” Sandy Senn’s filibuster on April 26, 2023.

However there are SIX fake** pro-“abortion” RINO “Republicans” who repeatedly, THREE TIMES, voted “No” to cloture on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, thereby perpetuating Senn’s filibuster:

[ Note: Katrina Shealy actually used to support Personhood legislation in her early years as a SC state senator (S457 in 2013-2014; S719 Joint Resolution to amend the SC State Constitution with Personhood language in 2015-2016; S217 in 2017-2018). Now however, she has apostatized in her position on “abortion” and is not pro-life, and has become one of the SIX fake** pro-“abortion” RINO “Republicans” in the SC Senate who are PERPETUATING mass-genocide*** by “abortion”. South Carolina is now an “abortion” destination magnet State in the Southeast United States. Katrina Shealy is one of the key SC Senators responsible for this ongoing holocaust in South Carolina. ]

In addition, Senator Stephen Goldfinch (R – GEORGETOWN) was still on Leave April 26, for the 2nd day in a row (?).
____________________________________________________
Before adjourning for the day to meet again the next day, at 11am Thursday, April 27, there were THREE Cloture votes  taken to stop pro-“abortion” Sandy Senn’s filibuster:

The results of these Cloture votes were:
#1)  23 Yes – 21 No
#2)  23 Yes – 20 No
#3)  23 Yes – 22 No

Since 26 “Yes” votes were needed according to the SC Senate Rules, all three Cloture votes failed, allowing Sandy Senn to continue her pro-“abortion” filibuster.

INTRODUCTION
Sect. 2:  Of the Nature of Laws in General

“The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures.”

“Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.”

“To instance in the case of murder: this is expressly forbidden by the divine, and demonstrably by the natural law; and, from these prohibitions, arises the true unlawfulness of this crime. … Nay, if any human law should allow or injoin us to commit it, we are bound to transgress that human law, or else we must offend both the natural and the divine.”
