\n<\/b><\/span>Personhood is Abolition
\n<\/a><\/b>– Personhood is abolition<\/u>.\u00a0 Here in South Carolina, we have advocated passage of State personhood legislation continuously for the last 19 years since 1998
\n[ History of Personhood Legislation in South Carolina ( 1998 – 2016 )<\/a>\u00a0 ].
\nThe current 2017 legislation in the SC Legislature is called the Personhood Act of South Carolina ( S<\/a> .217<\/a> \/ H.3530<\/a>).
\n– South Carolina Personhood legislation recognizes the Creator God-given, unalienable right to life of every human being as a “person” beginning at fertilization, in SC law.
