Are South Carolina “Republicans” borrowing deceptive tactic from George Orwell’s “1984” — changing the meaning of plain English language in S474 Heartbeat Bill ?

THIS ORWELLIAN RE-DEFINITION OF THE WORD “CONTRACEPTIVE” TO INCLUDE THE PREVENTION OF IMPLANTATION OF THE 6 TO 12 DAYS OLD TINY HUMAN EMBRYO (BLASTOCYST) IN THE ENDOMETRIAL LINING OF THE MOTHER’S UTERUS ALLOWS ABORTIFACIENT DRUGS AND DEVICES WHICH “ABORT” THESE POST-FERTILIZATION HUMAN EMBRYOS TO FALSELY AND PERVERSELY BE LABELLED AS “CONTRACEPTIVES”, AND TO FALSELY AND PERVERSELY CALL PREVENTION OF IMPLANTATION/”ABORTION” OF AN APPROX. ONE-WEEK OLD HUMAN BEING AS “CONTRACEPTION” !!!

HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL WORKS BOTH CONTRACEPTIVELY AND ABORTIFACIENTLY.

Human life begins at conception/fertilization, NOT implantation.

‘Yes, Some Contraceptives Are Abortifacients’
National Review
November 4, 2016
https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/11/contraception-birth-control-abortion-abortifacients-ella-plan-b-iud-embryo-life/

Excerpts:

“Pro-abortion-rights activists employ a neat semantic trick to evade and ignore the scientific details of abortifacient drugs: redefining “pregnancy” to mean “the implantation of an embryo in the uterine lining.” Thus any drug that prevents implantation of an existing embryo prevents pregnancy rather than aborting an existing one. Semantics aside, the crucial, underlying question is whether these birth-control methods cause embryonic death.”

“As Donna Harrison has explained at NRO, an IUD’s manipulation of the hormone progesterone causes a woman’s body to reject any embryo that might be formed after ovulation, rather than wholly stopping ovulation from occurring. The copper material in some IUDs has been shown to be toxic to an embryo, leading to its death or, if it survives, abnormal development. Furthermore, an IUD’s manipulation of the uterine lining accounts for the fact that, among women who become pregnant while using an IUD, there is a high rate of ectopic pregnancy, in which the embryo implants somewhere outside the uterus.”

The KEY to ENDING / ABOLISHING ALL “ABORTION” in SC is to CODIFY ALL HUMAN BEINGS are LEGAL “PERSONS” at FERTILIZATION

Published by:

SC State House
Columbia, SC

The KEY to ENDING / ABOLISHING ALL “ABORTION” (Surgical, RU486, and Abortifacient Birth Control Chemical) 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 (Title 16, Chapter 3, Article 1) and Constitutional Law (Article I, Section 3) for “PERSONS”.

“PERSONS” are ALREADY PROTECTED in South Carolina Statutory and Constitutional Law.

What is missing is to legally identify ALL HUMAN BEINGS as “PERSONS” beginning at fertilization / conception, without exception.

What is presently lacking is recognition in South Carolina 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.

______________________________________________

Personhood legislation was first filed in the SC Legislature 25 years ago, in February 1998, and has been on file every year since. Personhood legislation passed the full SC House of Representatives in 2005 (H3213), albeit flawed by a corrupting Amendment added on the House floor, which allowed use of an abortifacient drug in rape cases. [ Note: There are no exceptions to personhood.  ALL human beings are inherently, unalienably, natural persons. ] 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 2016 and 2018, where the legislation died in each case.
