TAKE ACTION TO PASS the
"Right to Life Act of South Carolina"
South Carolina's pro-life bill to end "legalized" abortion
(SC House bill H.3213)
On Thursday, March 31, the RTL Act of SC (H.3213) passed the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee, on a 3 0 vote ! Rep’s Delleney, F.N. Smith, and Hagood voted for the bill. Rep. Harrison abstained. (Rep. Coleman was not present.)
We give praise and all glory to the Lord Jesus Christ for the bill’s progress !
The next step is the full House Judiciary: next Tuesday, April 5, in Rm. 516, Blatt Bldg. at 2:30 PM (or 1 ½ hours after adjourn). Judiciary has 25 members (14 R’s, 11 D’s). At present there are 10 identified co-sponsors of the bill on the Committee. At least 13 votes are needed to be assured of a majority for passage. 5 Republicans on Judiciary are not co-sponsoring.
You can help by contacting at least one of these key legislators who are members of the 25-member Judiciary Committee: Please call / write / e-mail and/or fax these men by NLT Monday, April 4th and ASK THEM TO VOTE FOR the RTL Act of SC (H.3213):
- Rep. Alan Clemmons (R-Myrtle Beach)

- Rep. Jim Harrison (R-Columbia)
- Rep. Phil Sinclair (R-Spartanburg)
- Rep. Jim Stewart (R-Aiken)
- Rep. Doug Jennings (D-Bennettsville)
If they still refuse to co-sponsor, or even just vote for the bill, then ask them if they will at least not vote against the bill. Ask them then if they will at least abstain.
For those who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, pray that God would turn the hearts of all 25 on the House Judiciary Comm. (14 R's, 11 D's) to support H.3213 there are 10 identified co-sponsors at present.
