South Carolina Fake “Abortion” “Ban” [sic] Bill H5399 is Unjust

Isaiah 10:1;
Isaiah 5:20, KJV
______________________________________________________________

H5399 passed the SC House August 31 with multiple exceptions;
   [ Section 44-41-825. (rape/incest); Section 44-41-830. (so-called life/serious health of the mother) vs.  DublinDeclaration.com ]

H5399 does not protect human life beginning at conception;
   [ Section 44-41-810.(1) (protection only from point of “clinically diagnosable pregnancy”) ]

H5399 preserves the Roe framework in Chapter 41 (“Abortions’), Title 44 of the SC Code of Laws;
   [ Chapter 41, Title 44 of the SC Code of Laws is not repealed in Section 44-41-890. or elsewhere in H5399; legal status of “abortion” preserved in Section 44-41-825. and in Section 44-41-830. ]
   [ Aug 30, 2022 – Rep. Jonathon Hill (R-Anderson) at SC House podium during Second Reading H5399 debate rejects need for, and expresses concern about, H5399 leaving Chapter 41, Title 44 in the SC Code of Laws; believes possible “Roe-style” [judicial] decision coming out of South Carolina could result. Video, begin at 2:01:00 ]
     [ Aug 31, 2022 – Rep. Jonathon Hill (R-Anderson) voted “Nay” to Third Reading of H5399; included written statement for the Record in the SC House Journal, stating:
“While this Bill, H. 5399 …, purports to affirm life begins at conception, in reality it fails to establish equal [protection] under the law as required by the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. Furthermore, 44-41-825 protects the legal status of abortion, and will allow abortion mills to potentially remain open. This consequence is reflected in the fiscal impact statement, which states that “it is undetermined whether the Bill will affect [abortion clinic license fee] revenue.” For these and other reasons, I voted against this Bill on third reading. Rep. Jonathon D. Hill”


H5399 blasphemously refers to a preborn human being as an “individual organism of the species homo sapiens
[ Section 44-41-810.(7)  (compatible with Creator-denying Darwinian Evolution instead of Creation)

H5399 does Not Establish Justice.
[ One principal purpose stated in the Preamble for ordaining and establishing the United States Constitution is to “establish justice” ]
[ The Oath of Office taken by South Carolina Legislators concludes with the words “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of this State
and of the United States. So Help me God. — SC State Constitution, Art. III, Sec. 26. ]

On Tuesday, September 6, the SC Senate Medical Affairs Committee will take up H5399, and is expected to pass it out in some form, enabling the full SC Senate to begin debate Wednesday, September 7, at 10am.

Meanwhile, Senate Personhood Bill S1335 has been sitting in the SC Senate Judiciary Committee since May 12, and Chairman Senator Luke Rankin (R-Horry) has not yet taken action to move Bill S1335 forward.

There are at least two possible courses of action available::

1) If Chairman Senator Luke Rankin (R-Horry) decided to, he could add Senate Personhood Bill S1335 to the Agenda of the SC Senate Judiciary Committee Meeting which is already scheduled for Thursday, September 8, in Room 105, Senate Gressette Office Building, to hopefully*** pass Bill S1335 out of his Committee to the full SC Senate; and/or,

*** The 23-member SC Senate Judiciary Committee is comprised of 15 Republicans and 8 Democrats. Personhood Bills have previously been passed out of the SC Senate Judiciary Committee onto the full Senate Calendar in both 2016 (S719) and in 2018 (S217).

2) Members of the full SC Senate could decide to completely amend H5399 on the SC Senate floor, by striking all the current language of H5399, and inserting the language of S1335.

May the LORD’s will be done !

South Carolina Christians Beware ! FAKE “PRO-LIFE” [sic] BILL H5399 DE-HUMANIZES THE UNBORN; H5399 PRESERVES “ABORTION” IN THE SC CODE OF LAWS

South Carolina Christians Beware !
FAKE “PRO-LIFE” [sic] BILL H5399 DE-HUMANIZES THE UNBORN; H5399 PRESERVES “ABORTION” IN THE SC CODE OF LAWS
_______________________________________________

As the Recommended Language which became H5399 was passed by the SC House Ad Hoc Committee, and by the House Judiciary Special Laws Subcommittee, and by the full House Judiciary Committee, unchanged at each step, H5399 presently contains the following as it comes out onto the Floor of the SC House of Representatives on Tuesday, August 30 for debate:

1) “Permitted Abortion”
Section 44-41-830.(B) [ IAW the circumstances specified in Section 44-41-830. ]
INSTEAD OF A TOTAL BAN ON INTENTIONALLY KILLING THE UNBORN

        See 2012 Dublin Declaration on Maternal Healthcare

Note: Incredibly, H5399 even explicitly requires in new proposed Section 44-41-890. the preservation of the SC Legislature’s material codification in 1974 of the Roe v. Wade “Abortion” framework which exists TODAY in the current SC Code of Laws,
in Section 44-41-20., which is entitled “Legal” [sic] “Abortions.”. 

 
2) Protection only at point of “Clinically Diagnosable Pregnancy”
Section 44-41-810.(1)

INSTEAD OF PROTECTING ALL HUMAN LIFE BEGINNING AT CONCEPTION

 
3) “Organism of the Species Homo Sapiens
Section 44-41-810.(7)

DETESTABLE TERMINOLOGY COMPATIBLE WITH ANTI-CREATOR, ANTI-CREATION, DARWINIAN EVOLUTION


_______________________________________________

The H5399/SC House Ad Hoc Committee/Judiciary Committee/SCCL/Rep McCravy Bill is a BIG LIE.

PRETENDING in the UNENFORCEABLE Legislative Findings to Recognize the Unborn as Persons whose Life Begins at Conception, BUT NOT DOING SO WHERE IT MATTERS, IN THE ACTUAL PROPOSED CHANGES TO CODE SECTIONS IN TITLE 44, CHAPTER 41 – “Abortions“.

MESSAGE TO CHRISTIAN PRO-LIFERS:
H5399 DOES NOT PROTECT ALL UNBORN CHILDREN. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE NICE-SOUNDING WORDS
OF THE UNENFORCEABLE LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. THAT IS A SMOKESCREEN. WHAT MATTERS ARE THE ACTUAL PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SC CODE OF LAWS, TITLE 44, CHAPTER 41 – “Abortions“.

 

FAKE AND FRAUDULENT “PRO-LIFE” [sic] BILL H5399 PRESERVES “LEGAL” [sic] “ABORTION” IN THE NEW PROPOSED SECTION 44-41-890., WITH THIS LANGUAGE IN H5399:

[ H5399 ] “Section 44-41-890. This article must not be construed to repeal, by implication or otherwise, Sections 44-41-630 through 650, 44-41-20 or any otherwise applicable provision of South Carolina law regulating or restricting abortion.”
[ emphasis added ]



As the South Carolina State Supreme Court recently explained in its August 17, 2022 Order temporarily enjoining the SC Heartbeat Law, the SC Legislature in 1974 essentially codified the Roe v. Wade “Abortion” framework, and that “… the codification of Roe in section 44-41-20 remains part of the public policy of this state, …”.  [ emphasis added ]

So, just as the Heartbeat Law preserves the Roe v. Wade framework of SECTION 44-41-20. ( which is entitled “Legal” [sic] “Abortions.” ) of the CURRENT SC CODE OF LAWS, SO ALSO DOES THE NOW PROPOSED FAKE, FRAUDULENT H5399 BILL, FALSELY AND DECEPTIVELY NAMED, THE “SOUTH CAROLINA HUMAN LIFE PROTECTION ACT”, continue to preserve the Roe v. Wade framework in SECTION 44-41-20. ( “Legal” [sic] “Abortions.” ) AS PER THE LANGUAGE IN THE NEW PROPOSED SECTION 44-41-890. OF H5399.

So H5399 explicitly REQUIRES in the new proposed Section 44-41-890. the PRESERVATION of the SC Legislature’s material codification in 1974 of the Roe v. WadeAbortion” framework which exists TODAY in the current SC Code of Laws, in Section 44-41-20., which is entitled ‘Legal [sic] “Abortions.” ‘.

H5399 PRESERVES “ABORTION” IN THE SC CODE OF LAWS !

H5399 IS NOT A PRO-LIFE BILL, IT IS A FAKE AND A FRAUD AND A DECEPTION.

H5399 DOES NOT ESTABLISH IN LAW PERSONHOOD AT FERTILIZATION; AND THEREFORE DOES NOT GUARANTEE “DUE PROCESS” OR “EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS” FOR ANY UNBORN CHILDREN AT FERTILIZATION; AND THEREFORE DOES NOT ESTABLISH JUSTICE.

 
Being “Pro-Life” means AGREEING WITH GOD regarding the Sanctity of Human Life which HE HAS CREATED !

 
The Creator-God says,
“Thou shalt not kill (murder).
Exodus 20:13, KJV

 
Are the Unborn People ?

Are the Unborn “Persons” ?


ANYTHING LESS THAN PERSONHOOD IS NOT “Equal Justice Under Law”.

 

“Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees,…”
Isaiah 10:1, KJV

H5399 is an unrighteous, unjust, iniquitous decree.

 

ESTABLISH JUSTICE.

PERSONHOOD BILL H5401.
