CHURCH PETITIONS and E-MAIL LISTS for RIGHT TO LIFE ACT OF SC

Petition Campaign and E-mail Contact and Alert List initiated:

At the "JESUS is Pro-Life" Rally in front of the SC State House on January 22, 2007, hosted jointly by Voice of the Unborn and Columbia Christians for Life, a campaign was initiated to gather names to Petition our SC Legislature and Governor to pass the Right to Life Act of SC, and outlaw abortion in our State. An E-mail Contact and Alert List was started as well.

To date, over 563 names from at least 11 identified churches have been collected in the ongoing Petition Campaign: (only one name per line counted)

Blacksburg - Lighthouse Baptist Church - 61 names

Boiling Springs - Gateway Baptist Church - 102 names

Cayce - Bethany Baptist Church - 13 names
- Gantt Street Baptist Church - 123 names

Columbia - Columbia World Outreach Church - 40 names

Darlington - Victory Baptist Church - 30 names

Gaston - Mount Pleasant Baptist Church - 27 names

Goose Creek - Open Door Bible Baptist Church - 30 names

Lexington - Beacon Baptist Church - 18 names

West Columbia - Joel Baptist Church - 19 names

York - Blessed Hope Baptist Church and School - 47 names

Plus, 53 names gathered at the January 22, 2007 at the "JESUS is Pro-Life" Rally

_______________________________________________________
Total: 10 cities/towns, 11 identified churches, over 563 names

Currently, a public hearing for the Right to Life Act of SC (H.3284 / S.313) has not yet been scheduled in either the SC House or the SC Senate. The first presentation of these petitions is, Lord willing, expected to be at the public hearing for H.3284 before the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee of the SC House Judiciary Committee, on the 5th floor of the Blatt Building on the State House grounds at a future (hopefully soon) date.

So there is still time for residents of South Carolina to send in your petitions ! Most of the Petition lists and names so far have been from Independent Baptist churches and individuals. However other Christian evangelical churches and individuals can also help in this effort. The Petition simply reads:

PETITION

To the South Carolina General Assembly and Governor for passage into law of the Right to Life Act of SC, and for the outlawing of the practice of abortion in our State.

The person collecting the names is then asked to mail the signed petitions to:

Columbia Christians for Life, PO Box 50358, Columbia, SC 29250 (803-765-0916).

This will be an ongoing project until child-murder-by-abortion is outlawed by the South Carolina General Assembly and Governor of South Carolina.

"Protesters call on legislators to outlaw abortions"

Beaufort Gazette, Beaufort, SC

[Excerpts, highlighting emphasis added]

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Abortion foes rallied outside the Statehouse on Monday to call on South Carolina legislators to outlaw abortions on the anniversary of the case that made them legal. [sic]

"Today marks one of the darkest days our country has known," the Rev. Charles Butler, of Souls Afire Baptist Church in Orangeburg, said of the Roe v. Wade decision, handed down 34 years ago Monday.

He urged anti-abortion activists to get involved in government. "It is high time we take our government back from the infidels," Butler said.

Voice of the Unborn director Johnny Gardner said he fears God will destroy America for its sinfulness.

"Either we repent or, as a nation, we will parish," said Gardner, who's frequently seen inside the Statehouse carrying dolls and pushing strollers to protest abortion.

He criticized state senators for letting a bill dubbed the "Right to Life Act," which cleared the South Carolina House in 2005, die in committee. The bill, which would extend legal rights to fertilization, was reintroduced in the House last week.

Gardner also asked lawmakers to approve a monument on Statehouse grounds recognizing fetuses aborted in South Carolina to "express sorrow, remorse, repentance."

Steve LeFemine [correction: Lefemine], of Columbia Christians for Life, called abortion "evil" and said South Carolina should lead the nation in testing Roe v. Wade.

"You know who's behind abortion? Satan himself," shouted the Rev. Stan Craig of Choice Hills Baptist Church in Greenville. "Our American flag has been turned into a bloody butcher's apron. ... Our American flag is dripping with the blood of innocent children."
