The purpose of Personhood legislation is to establish justice for all pre-birth human beings, recognizing the Creator God-given unalienable right to life of every human being as a \u201cperson\u201d, in law, at fertilization, and that without exception, because God’s Word says, “Thou shalt not kill (murder).”\u00a0 Exodus 20:13, KJV
\n<\/a>
\n<\/span>SC<\/a> Senate<\/a> District<\/a> #20<\/a> includes parts of Richland and Lexington Counties; running from White Rock to Ballentine and Irmo, along I-26 and I-126, thru downtown Columbia, continuing southeast thru Shandon and other Columbia neighborhoods to I-77, and vicinity [ Map<\/a> ].<\/p>\n

The above \u201cDear Candidate\u201d letter (July 18, 2018) from Personhood South Carolina contains this sentence:\u00a0\u201cThis past legislative cycle\u2019s personhood effort had companion bills (S217, H3530) making significant progress in both the House and Senate.\u201d <\/span>This statement is only half true.\u00a0 It is true the Senate Bill<\/u><\/span> S217<\/a> did see significant progress in the SC Senate in 2017-2018 Session: S217 passed Subcommittee after two public hearings, S217 passed the full Senate Judiciary Committee, S217 was placed on the full SC Senate calendar, and the Judiciary Committee Amendment to S217 was actually approved on the Senate floor.\u00a0 However, the House Bill<\/u><\/span> H3530<\/a> on the other hand,\u00a0never even had a public hearing<\/u> in 2017, or in 2018.\u00a0 And the historical record shows public hearings in Subcommittee\u00a0have been held in the past<\/u> for the SC House personhood bill; in 2001, in 2004, in 2005, in 2008 (then-SC Attorney General Henry McMaster also testified at this hearing), and in 2010.\u00a0 The SC House personhood bill passed out of Subcommittee in both 2004 and 2005.\u00a0 In 2005, the personhood bill also passed the full House Judiciary Committee (still unamended), before being amended on the floor of the full SC House of Representatives with a fatal flaw so-called \u201cmorning-after-pill\u201d (chemical abortifacient) rape \u201cexception\u201d [sic] <\/i>amendment, then passed the full SC House of Representatives on Second and Third Readings, and was then sent to the SC Senate where two public hearings were held, no vote taken, and it died.<\/p>\n
