“Republicans” who voted against tabling Mace rape and incest “exceptions” amendment to incremental Child-Murder Regulation HeartbeatBill, which already bans NO ‘abortions’ before heartbeat detected:

Bailey, Ballentine, Bannister, Blackwell, Bradley, Chellis, Clary, Clemmons, Cogswell, Collins, W. Cox, Daning, Davis, Felder, Finlay, Hewitt, Hixon, Huggins, Hyde, Kimmons, Lowe, Mace, Martin, McCoy, McGinnis, D. C. Moss, Murphy, B. Newton, W. Newton, Sottile, Spires, Taylor, Wooten  [ 33 “Republicans” total ]

Note: SC House Representatives districts and contact information.

After the attempt to table the Mace rape and incest “exceptions” amendment failed on a 38 – 62 vote, the Mace rape and incest “exceptions” amendment was then adopted on a voice vote.  So of the 62 votes against tabling the Mace rape and incest “exceptions” amendment, 33 of those 62 were the “Republicans” listed above.  In other words, the
Mace rape and incest “exceptions” amendment would have failed without the support of Republicans.

______________________________
______________________________

Mace rape and incest ‘exceptions’ amendment added to unjust incremental Child-Murder Regulation HeartbeatBill; unjust Mace amendment insures children conceived in cases of rape and incest can still be murdered even after heartbeat detected:

Note 1: In addition to being fundamentally flawed as an incremental bill regulating child-murder by allowing the murder of all children in the womb prior to a heartbeat being detected (approx. 6 weeks gestation), the ‘ HeartbeatBill ( H3020) as initially filed also already contained “exceptions” for performing an “abortion” (which this bill euphemistically includes among what it terms “a medical procedure” [ sic – intentional murder of a child in the womb is not “a medical procedure” !!! ] “to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or to prevent a serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman.” [ Re: H3020 as pre-filed Dec 18, 2018 – Section 44-41-700. (A) and Section 44-41-710. (A) ]

However, it is never necessary to intentionally destroy the child in the womb.  See written Statement below prepared by Dr. Patrick Johnston, presented to a SC Senate Judiciary Subcommittee by Dr. Henry Jordan, on March 13, 2014:

Note 2:  The Mace amendment adding rape and incest exceptions to the ‘ HeartbeatBill ( H3020) was approved by the full SC House Judiciary Committee [ April 4, 2019 Report ], and later adopted by the full SC House on April 24:

(B)   A physician who performs or induces an abortion on a pregnant woman based on an exception in subsection (A) shall make written notations in the pregnant woman’s medical records of the following:

(B)(1)   A physician who performs a medical procedure as described in subsection (A) shall declare, in a written document, that the medical procedure is necessary, in reasonable medical judgment, to:

(b)   terminate a pregnancy that resulted from rape or incest.

(2)   In the document, the physician shall:

(a)   specify the pregnant woman’s medical condition that the medical procedure is asserted to address and the medical rationale for the physician’s conclusion that the medical procedure is necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or to prevent a serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman; or

(b)   specify the medical rational for the physician’s conclusion that the medical procedure is necessary to terminate a pregnancy that resulted from rape or incest.

(C)   A physician who performs a medical procedure as described in subsection (A) shall place the written document required by subsection (B) in the pregnant woman’s medical records.

SC Senate approves State Budget with Planned Parenthood and certain ‘Abortion’ Funding, by 38-6 Vote, April 18, 2019

April 18 Columbia, SC

SC Senate approves State Budget ( H4000) with Planned Parenthood Funding ( Section 33 – DHHS) and with certain ‘Abortion’ Funding ( Section 108 – PEBA), by 38-6 Vote

Note: The SC Senate gave Third Reading approval ( Ayes 38; Nays 6 ) to SC State Budget for FY 2019-2020 on April 18; then H4000 was sent back to SC House.  The present version of the SC State Budget requires South Carolina taxpayers to fund PLANNED PARENTHOOD for now and to fund certain ‘Abortions’.  If even one child in the womb is murdered during FY 2019-2020 ( July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 ) using funds appropriated in H4000 as approved by SC Senators in various Roll Call votes on April 17 and April 18, then each and every Senator voting to appropriate such money, or voting against efforts to stop the appropriation of such money, will consequently thereby be an accessory to murder before-the-fact, the fraudulent, unrighteous, immoral, and unconstitutional Opinion of the US Supreme Court in Roe v Wade notwithstanding.

Note: The SC DHHS funding of Planned Parenthood is NOT directly for surgical or RU-486 “abortions”, but for so-called “family planning funds”, which may include chemically abortifacient “birth control”. Any government (taxpayer) money given to Planned Parenthood helps sustain their operation as a child-murder center.  Two of the three stand alone child-murder centers remaining in South Carolina are operated by Planned Parenthood [ located in Charleston and Columbia ].

Then on April 18 also came the final, Third Reading vote by the SC Senate for the entire SC State Budget, Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Appropriations Bill H4000, which was approved by a vote of Ayes 38; Nays 6, as follows:

Ayes 38; Nays 6

AYES (Total – 38)

[ Note: Not voting – Democrats Hutto and Williams on leave. ]

“The Bill was read the third time, passed and ordered returned to the House of Representatives with amendments.”

Statement by Senator CASH

I voted against the budget because it allows state money to be used by the State Health Insurance Plan to pay for the killing of unborn babies who are conceived as a result of rape or insest.

____________________________

So the SC State FY 2019-2020 Appropriations Bill H4000 was passed on Third Reading by the Republican-majority SC Senate on April 18 even though Section 33 (DHHS) contains PLANNED PARENTHOOD FUNDING, and even though Section 108 (PEBA) contains State-funding of certain “abortions” in the State Health Insurance Plan.
