SOUTH CAROLINA (2005) – First (only) time Personhood legislation passes SC House of Representatives, albeit with fatal flaw rape “exception” amendment allowing abortifacient drug use

Personhood legislation (Bill – H.3213) passed in the South Carolina House on Second Reading, April 13, 2005 by a vote of 95 – 18, albeit with a fatal flaw rape EXCEPTION amendment for a so-called “morning-after-pill” (an abortifacient causing chemical abortions)  that was added to the bill on the SC House floor prior to passage which allowed for this abortifacient drug to be given to a woman in the case of rape.  The bill then passed as amended on Third Reading, April 14, 2005 by a vote of 91 – 10, and was sent to the SC Senate, where it was later assigned to the Judiciary Committee.  Two Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Hearings were held, however no Subcommittee debate was conducted, and no vote was taken on the bill, effectively killing H.3213 for the 2005-2006 Session.

SC House Judiciary Committee, April 5, 2005 – H.3213
Audio (38:33) – Following debate, bill passed favorably by vote of 15 – 5 (roll call)

SC Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, May 4, 2005 – S.111 / H.3213
