South Carolina State Senators…
Over 300,000 pre-birth human beings have been murdered inside the wombs of their mothers between 1973 and 2004 by surgical abortion alone (not even counting by chemical abortion) within the borders of the state of South Carolina !!! (Numbers 35:33)
Are you willing to exercise your power and authority to Establish Justice for these children ?
(Romans 13:1-4; Amos 5:15)
Then please, in the Special Session beginning June 14, please sign on as a co-sponsor to the Right to Life Act of SC, S.111. The SC House passed an amended version April 13.
Three other states: Georgia, North Dakota, and Ohio also have principled, no ‘exceptions’ ban-abortion bills filed in their state legislatures.
