This reporting of these Candidate Survey Results does not constitute the giving of any endorsements by Christians for Personhood.

However, it is a great encouragement to see candidates take a strong, principled, Biblical stand for the Sanctity of Human Life.  It would be a welcome day indeed to see many House candidates with 100% survey positions, and so subsequently, Lord willing, to see more such candidates elected as members of the SC House of Representatives and sworn in to the SC House for the 2023 Session !

In addition, it should also be noted, as important, inviolable, and essential as a candidate’s position is regarding the Sanctity of Human Life (Genesis 1:27, KJV), and the Creator God-given, inherent, unalienable, right to life (Exodus 20:13, Matthew 19:18, KJV), there are also other Biblically-based  qualifications for civil rulers.  For example, see Exodus 18:21 and 2 Samuel 23:3, KJV.

Subj: A PLEA FOR JUSTICE: JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED; ESTABLISH JUSTICE NOW !

                                                                                               

We may possibly be less than one month away from an historic ruling by the United States Supreme Court, one that is 49 plus years overdue, whose delay has cost the lives of over 63 million children in the United States. Please do not become responsible before God for the life of even one more child being taken in South Carolina if in fact SCOTUS soon overthrows the evil, unconstitutional Roe Opinion.

In a May 4, 2022 letter to then-House Speaker Lucas from several members of the SC House of Representatives, they stated (copy enclosed):

 

“The killing of even one child with the needless countenance of state law would be a grave assault to human rights and human dignity.”

and;

“No more children should have to die without justice.”

 

What will your legacy be ? That South Carolina’s top leaders had in place the legislative means to protect human life, as do already, in various measures, 13 other States via “trigger laws”; and 9 States with pre-Roe “abortion” ban legislation still on the books; and 3 States with “abortion” ban legislation passed since 2019 in spite of Roe ? Or, will the legacy of South Carolina in this historic sea change in America be that Roe was overturned, but in the State of South Carolina, the shedding of innocent blood continued, for even one second longer than necessary ? [ Note: Laws recognizing ”Personhood” at fertilization for ALL humans fully establish justice. Other “bans” may still shut down child-murder centers, as in Oklahoma. ]

 

’13 states have passed so-called ‘trigger laws,’ bans designed to go into effect if Roe v. Wade is overturned’
May 3, 2022
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/03/us/state-abortion-trigger-laws-roe-v-wade-overturned/index.html

 

13 States with Trigger Laws already in place:

AR, ID, KY, LA, MO, MS, ND, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, WY

 

9 States with pre-Roe “Abortion” bans still in place:

AL, AR, AZ, MI, MS, OK, TX, WI, WV

 

3 States which passed recent “Abortion” bans in spite of Roe

AL (2019), AR (2021), OK (2022) [ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/new-law-bans-nearly-all-abortions-arkansas-n1260328 ]

 

So there are 18 different States which have some type of immediate “abortion” ban legislation already in place upon the overthrow of Roe: AL, AR, AZ, ID, KY, LA, MI, MO, MS, ND, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, WI, WV, WY.

 

Men, please do not wait to “respond” after Dobbs. Revise Sine Die Resolution S1325 and take up Personhood legislation beginning Day One June 15 of the upcoming Special Session, to END/ABOLISH ALL “abortion”. Pass Personhood Now !

 

God’s Requirement for Murder is Justice ( Exodus 20:13, Micah 6:8, Amos 5:15, KJV ).

May 30, 2022 / Corrected/Revised June 7, 2022

 

 

May 4, 2022 Letter to then-Speaker of the SC House of Representatives Rep. Jay Lucas
from several Members of the SC House of Representatives, including these words:

“The killing of even one child with the needless countenance of state law would be a grave assault to human rights and human dignity.”

and;

“No more children should have to die without justice.”

SC LEGISLATURE FINISHES 2022 REGULAR SESSION MAY 12; ADOPTED “SINE DIE” RESOLUTION TO COME BACK INTO SPECIAL SESSION JUNE 15-17 AND JUNE 28-30 FOR OTHER MATTERS, BUT NOT TO TAKE UP “ABORTION” LEGISLATION UNTIL AFTER JUNE 30 !

Published by:

SC LEGISLATURE FINISHES 2022 REGULAR SESSION MAY 12;

ADOPTED “SINE DIE” RESOLUTION TO COME BACK INTO SPECIAL SESSION
JUNE 15-17 AND JUNE 28-30 FOR OTHER MATTERS, BUT NOT TO TAKE UP
“ABORTION” LEGISLATION UNTIL AFTER JUNE 30 !
_____________________________________________

“REPUBLICANS” are a 65% majority in both the SC House and SC Senate; however by voting to delay debate on banning “abortion” until AFTER the Supreme Court Dobbs Case ruling o/a June 30 when Roe may possibly be overturned, means the SC Senate and SC House have effectively voted to possibly PERPETUATE CHILD-MURDER in South Carolina.

Shame.

If even one unborn child is destroyed in South Carolina AFTER any Dobbs case ruling that overturns Roe, their INNOCENT BLOOD will be on the hands of SC Legislators who:

1) Failed to join one of 13 other States with “trigger laws” already passed,
which go into effect if Roe is overturned;

CNN
May 3, 2022
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/03/us/state-abortion-trigger-laws-roe-v-wade-overturned/index.html

AND,

2) Failed to include in the Sine Die Resolution passed May 10 (SC Senate) and May 11 (SC House) that “abortion” legislation could be taken up in June 15-17 and June 28-30 special sessions, when trigger legislation could be passed, but postponed consideration of “abortion” legislation until after June 30, 2022. The US Supreme Court ruling on the Mississippi Dobbs case is expected sometime during the period June 27 – 30.

S1325: Sine Die Resolution
https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess124_2021-2022/bills/1325.htm
_________________________________________________

Regarding the Sine Die Resolution, a May 4 letter to Speaker of the House Jay Lucas,
signed by several House members stated in part:

“The killing of even one child with the needless countenance of state law would be a grave assault to human rights and human dignity.”

and,

“No more children should have to die without justice.”
_________________________________________________

With the impending Supreme Court ruling in the Dobbs case, the SC Legislature, demonstrating a lack of fear of God, and a lack of love for their unborn neighbors, passed a Sine Die Resolution which declines to take up “abortion” legislation until some unspecified time July 1 – November 13.

In other words, even if as of o/a June 30, there is no Federal US Supreme Court ruling such as Roe or Casey to provide any political cover for not completely banning “abortion”, the State of South Carolina will continue to allow children in the womb to be torn to pieces until some unspecified time July 1 – November 13 !

Shame.

UNLESS, the South Carolina Legislature takes up the Sine Die Resolution itself, S1325, as the Resolution language allows, and revises the Sine Die Resolution to allow for consideration of “abortion” legislation in the June 15-17 and June 28-30 special sessions.  This the “Republican” 65% near super-majority SC House and the “Republican” 65% near super-majority SC Senate can do by a 2/3 vote in each chamber, the same voting margin that was needed to pass S1325 to begin with, which the SC Senate did on May 10, and the SC House did on May 11.

Oklahoma Governor Stitt Signs Near-Total [ Surgical, RU-486 ] Abortion Ban Into Law – April 12, 2022; However OK SB 612 Falls Short of Fully Establishing Justice and Equal Protection of the Laws

Published by:

Oklahoma Governor Stitt Signs Near-Total [ Surgical, RU-486 ] Abortion Ban Into Law – April 12, 2022; However OK SB 612 Falls Short of Fully Establishing Justice and Equal Protection of the Laws

OK SB 612 Bans Surgical and RU-486 “Abortion” Procedures in Nearly All Cases, Except for so-called “Medical Emergency”

OK SB 612 does NOT Recognize in Law the God-given, Inherent and Unalienable “Personhood” of the Unborn

OK SB 612 does NOT Criminalize the Mother’s Culpability in Killing Her Own Child

OK SB 612 does NOT Ban Chemically Abortifacient “Birth Control” ( so-called “Contraceptives” [sic] ), which is reliably estimated to cause multiple times more the number of “abortions” than do surgical and RU-486 “abortions”.

OK SB 612 [ Act ]
https://www.sos.ok.gov/documents/legislation/58th/2022/2R/SB/0612.pdf

Passed Oklahoma Senate – Ayes – 38, Nays – 9; March 10, 2021

Passed Oklahoma House – Ayes – 70, Nays – 14; Excused – 16; April 5, 2022

_____________________________________________

SB 612
“Abortion; prohibiting performance of or attempt to perform abortion except under certain condition; providing penalties and affirmative defense. Effective date.”

OK SB 612 bans nearly all surgical and RU-486 “abortions”, however it does not ban “abortion” in the case of a “medical emergency” as defined in the statute “to save the life of a pregnant woman.” [sic].
Therefore, SB 612 does not fully provide for equal protection under the law.
It is never justified or necessary to intentionally kill (“abort”) the baby to save the mother’s life.

OK SB 612 criminalizes performing an “abortion” or attempting to perform an “abortion” for the abortionist, as a felony, with punishments of up to $100,000 and/or 10 years imprisonment; however SB 612 does not authorize charging or convicting a woman with any criminal offense in the killing of her own unborn child.
Therefore, SB 612 does not fully establish justice.

OK SB 612 does NOT Ban Chemically Abortifacient “Birth Control” ( so-called “Contraceptives” [sic] ), which is reliably estimated to cause multiple times more the number of “abortions” than do surgical and RU-486 “abortions”.
Therefore, SB 612 does not establish justice, and does not provide for equal protection under the law, for enormous numbers of unborn children in the days immediately after fertilization, through implantation in the womb (approx. 6 to 10 days gestation).

_____________________________________________

OK SB 612 Does Not Fully Establish Justice, Nor Fully Provide for Equal Protection of the Laws

– OK SB 612 still unjustly and unnecessarily ** allows “abortions” in the so-called life of the mother case.

– OK SB 612 does not ban chemically abortifacient “birth control” *** which is reliably estimated to cause multiple times more the number of “abortions” than do surgical and RU-486 “abortions”.

– OK SB 612 does not criminalize the mother murdering her child.

** It is never justified or necessary to intentionally kill (“abort”) the baby to save the mother’s life
