Re: SC Supreme Court Hearing on Heartbeat Law – Oct 19, 2022; Heartbeat Bill vs. Personhood: Planned Parenthood attorney points out SB1 (2021 Heartbeat Bill) “does not treat a six-week embryo as another person.”

Planned Parenthood attorney points out SB1 (2021 Heartbeat Bill) “does not treat a six-week embryo as another person. If it did of course, you wouldn’t have a rape exception. After birth a woman cannot kill her child because she had been raped. So SB1 itself distinguishes between a six-week embryo and a person”, near the end of the SC Supreme Court Hearing on whether the incremental six-week Heartbeat Law violates the SC Constitution Privacy Right in Article I, Section 10.

Even the proponents of “abortion” understand if preborn human beings are recognized as legal “persons”, they cannot be killed !  The right to life of “persons” is constitutionally protected.

KEY LEGAL POINT: PERSONHOOD AND THE SC CONSTITUTION RIGHT TO LIFE IN ARTICLE I, SECTION 3. TRUMPS PRIVACY.

Christians for Personhood:

The SC State Constitution states in Article I, Section 3. “nor shall any person be deprived of life, … without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws.”

Regardless of what the SC Supreme Court decides in the Heartbeat Law case, but ESPECIALLY if these justices opine that child-murder is somehow included in the State Constitution Privacy Right, if the SC State Legislature will recognize statutorily the PERSONHOOD of preborn human beings beginning at fertilization, without exception, then the right to life of the preborn will be protected constitutionally by Article I, Section 3. of the SC State Constitution.

Personhood and the Constitutionally-protected Right to Life trumps Privacy.
