PERSONHOOD trumps PRIVACY.

Orwellian Heartbeat Law (S474) is Unjust. PERSONHOOD Establishes Justice; Heartbeat Law (S474) Does Not.

PERSONHOOD trumps PRIVACY.

SC Supreme Court Justice John Few Opinion from:

“Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, et al. v.
State of South Carolina, et al.”
Opinion No. 28127

January 5, 2023

https://www.sccourts.org/opinions/HTMLFiles/SC/28127.pdf

Excerpts from pp. 75 – 77:

Justice John Few:

“For years, a minority of the General Assembly attempted to enact legislation banning abortion altogether. See, e.g., S. 129, 121st Gen. Assemb., Reg. Sess. (S.C. 2015). Those “personhood bills”- based on what would have become a legislative finding that human life begins at conception [FN 53] – consistently failed to gain majority support. [FN 54]” … [H5399 discussion omitted] … “if the State were to pass a total ban on abortion – despite a complete invasion of a pregnant woman’s right to privacy – the privacy invasion might be reasonable under article I, section 10, because “human life” has no countervailing interest; human life simply must be preserved. But the General Assembly failed to pass the personhood bills,” … [H5399 discussion omitted] … “Thus, despite consistent efforts, there is no legislative policy determination that human life – “personhood” – begins at conception, and there is no such State interest that justifies enacting the six-week bill.”

The KEY to ENDING / ABOLISHING ALL “ABORTION” (Surgical, RU486, and Abortifacient “Birth Control”) in SOUTH CAROLINA is to ESTABLISH IN LAW (CODIFY) ALL HUMAN BEINGS are LEGAL “PERSONS”, BEGINNING at FERTILIZATION / CONCEPTION (NOT IMPLANTATION), with NO EXCEPTIONS.
____________________________________________

The right to life is ALREADY protected in South Carolina Statutory Law (Title 16, Chapter 3, Article 1) and Constitutional Law (Article I, Section 3) for “PERSONS”.

“PERSONS” are ALREADY PROTECTED !

ROE v. WADE Opinion, January 22, 1973:
“If … personhood is established, the [pro-“abortion”] case, of course, collapses, …”

What is missing is to legally identify ALL HUMAN BEINGS as legal “PERSONS” beginning at fertilization/conception. ALL HUMAN BEINGS are already natural persons, created in the image of God, male and female (Genesis 1:27, KJV).

Black’s Law Dictionary (2009):
person. 1.
“A human being”. – Also termed natural person.
http://christianlifeandliberty.net/2013-12-11-Blacks-Law-Dictionary-2009-Person=A-Human-Being.pdf

What is presently lacking is recognition in law of the Creator God-given, inherent, unalienable, natural personhood of all human beings, codified as legal personhood, at fertilization/conception (not implantation), with no exceptions.

ALL human beings are people, are persons, at fertilization, with no exceptions.

Principled personhood legislation was first filed in the SC Legislature 25 years ago, in February 1998, and has been on file every year since through 2022. Personhood legislation passed the full SC House of Representatives in 2005 (H3213), albeit flawed by still allowing use of an abortifacient drug in rape cases. Personhood legislation passed out of the SC Senate Judiciary Committee in both 2016 (S719) and 2018 (S217) and was placed on the full SC Senate calendar in both years, where the legislation died.
