SOUTH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT JUSTICE EXPLICITLY NAMES SEVERAL <\/span>PERSONHOOD BILLS<\/span> IN HIS HEARTBEAT LAW OPINION – JANUARY 5, 2023<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

SC Supreme Court Justice John Few’s Opinion documents the repeated failure of the<\/strong>
\nSC General Assembly over the course of years to pass Personhood<\/span> legislation;<\/strong>
\nplus the continued existence today of the Roe<\/em> framework in the SC Code of Laws,<\/strong>
\nwhich was added to the SC Code by the SC Legislature in 1974<\/strong>

\n<\/span>Justice John Few (pp. 75, 76):<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“For years, a minority of the General Assembly attempted to enact legislation banning abortion altogether. <\/span><\/strong>See, e.g.,<\/span><\/i> S.129, 121st Gen. Assemb., Reg. Sess. (S.C. 2015). Those “personhood bills”<\/span> – based on what would <\/span><\/strong>have become a legislative finding that human life begins at conception [FN 53] – consistently failed to gain <\/span><\/strong>majority support. [FN 54]”<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 [emphasis added]<\/span><\/p>\n

See also personhood\/person<\/span> references by Justice John Few on pp. 77, 80.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Justice John Few (p. 90):<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“In 1974 – in response to Roe<\/em> – the General Assembly enacted an expansive statutory right to abortion, making any abortion legal up to the end of the second trimester of pregnancy. Act No. 1215, 1974 S.C. Acts 2837, 2838-39. That statutory right to – or opportunity for – abortion is actually still the law. See<\/em> \u00a7\u00a044-41-20(a)-(b).”<\/span><\/strong>

Christians for Personhood:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 41 “Abortions”<\/span><\/strong><\/a> of Title 44 of SC Code of Laws should be repealed; child-murder by “abortion” <\/span><\/strong>should be ENDED<\/u>,<\/span> not incrementally “regulated” !<\/span><\/strong>
\n______________________________________________
\n______________________________________________
\n
\n<\/span>No Personhood Bill has ever been fully passed, in 24 straight years of these bills being filed in the SC Legislature, 1998 to 2022. <\/span><\/strong>The most progress achieved was passage of a Personhood bill by the full SC House in 2005, albeit with a fatal flaw rape exception<\/span><\/strong>
\nallowing use of an abortifacient drug [There are no exceptions<\/u> to “personhood”, none<\/u>. ]. In the SC Senate, Personhood legislation <\/span><\/strong>was passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in both 2016 and 2018, and in each year, placed on the Senate Calendar where <\/span><\/strong>the bills subsequently died.<\/span><\/strong>
\n______________________________________________
\n
\n<\/span>This is the 24 year history of principled Personhood legislation, never fully passed by the SC Legislature, which has led now <\/span><\/strong>to the ongoing post-Dobbs<\/em> slaughter of an estimated 3,000 unborn children in SC in the 198 Days since Roe<\/em> was overturned<\/span><\/strong>
