From Christians for Personhood:

The above “Dear Candidate” letter (July 18, 2018) from Personhood South Carolina contains this sentence: “This past legislative cycle’s personhood effort had companion bills (S217, H3530) making significant progress in both the House and Senate.” This statement is only half true.  It is true the Senate Bill S217 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.  However, the House Bill H3530 on the other hand, never even had a public hearing in 2017, or in 2018.  And the historical record shows public hearings in Subcommittee have been held in the past 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.  The SC House personhood bill passed out of Subcommittee in both 2004 and 2005.  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 “morning-after-pill” (chemical abortifacient) rape “exception” [sic] 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.

Christian Stegmaier candidate for Senate Seat #20

by Michael Reed | July 11, 2018
http://thestandardsc.org/exclusive-interview-christian-stegmaier-candidate-for-senate-seat-20

[ Excerpt, emphasis added ]


Christian believes that “life begins at conception.” He says we have a “responsibility to the unborn” and that the “unborn should be protected.” He says in the law a person “can be charged with a crime if we kill a fetus.” He emphasized that abortion is a “federally driven issue” but that the “5th and 14th Amendments say each person has a right to life.”

Regarding the recent Greenville Women’s Clinic news violating state law concerning improper disposal of aborted babies as “medical waste”, he said it was “reprehensible to God’s creation.” Stegmaier emphasized that as a people we must “return to a notion of accountability.” He said he believes in “personhood of the fetus.”

Re: Personhood Legislation Position Statement

     This letter is in response to your request for my position on personhood legislation. I pledge to defend all preborn lives, without exception, by granting my full support to personhood legislation if I am elected to the South Carolina Senate. By “full support” I mean co-sponsoring personhood legislation, voting in favor of personhood at every opportunity (including procedural votes such as recall motions, special order motions, tabling motions, cloture votes, and committee votes), and using all positional powers to move personhood forward without delay.

Thank you,

/s/

Benjamin Dunn
