SC "Personhood" Bill Radio Commercial: Call SC House Republicans Delleney and Harrison to pass bill out of committee

Link to audio to be posted at "RTL Act of SC" page of http://www.christianlifeandliberty.net/ :
WQXL-1470 AM Radio Commercial - Right to Life Act of SC "Personhood" Bill (1:00 - audio link)
To begin airing Monday, April 14, 2008


The Right to Life Act of SC (H.3284/H.3697/S.313) has been active in the SC Legislature since Feb. 1998. The bill has previously passed the SC House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee (March 31, 2005), and has previously passed the House Judiciary Committee (April 5, 2005). The bill passed the full SC House on April 13, 2005 (Second Reading), albeit with a fatal flaw rape exception amendment. The bill then died in the SC Senate.

The Right to Life Act of SC "Personhood" Bill was re-introduced in the SC House and SC Senate in 2007.

Because of the interference and distraction of the incrementalist, abortion-regulation "Ultrasound" bill ("look at an ultrasound image, if you want to, and then you can kill the baby"), Constitutional Laws Subcommittee Chairman Greg Delleney (R-Chester) did not grant a public hearing for the Right to Life Act of SC in the 2007 Session:

SC RTL Act delayed by House Republican leader for Ultrasound Bill in 2007 Session
Republican Chairman of the House Constitutional Laws Subcommittee, Rep. Greg Delleney (R-Chester) has decided not to hold a public hearing on the RTL Act of SC (H.3284) until action is complete in the SC General Assembly on the Ultrasound bill (H.3355). The 2007 regular session ends June 7. Once action is complete on the Ultrasound bill, Rep. Delleney has stated he will then sign on as a co-sponsor of the Right to Life Act of SC, and grant us a public hearing.

Finally, on February 14, 2008, Rep. Delleney held a public hearing for the Right to Life Act of SC, at which the SC Attorney General, Henry McMaster, stood by his 2005 Legal Opinion that the bill was constitutional; however no vote was taken on the bill.

Now it appears that Republicans Delleney (ConLaws Subcomm. chairman) and Harrison (Judiciary Comm. chairman) may be intending to take no further action on the Right to Life Act of SC in 2008.

However, the regular Legislative Session does not end until June 5, so please call 803-734-3120, the House Judiciary Committee office, and request that Republican Representatives Greg Delleney and Jim Harrison pass the Right to Life Act of SC out of their respective committees immediately.

Present plans are to run the above radio commercial weekdays, April 14 - April 25, 2008. You can help continue the campaign to: 1) increase awareness among Christian pro-lifers about the 10 year effort to END ABORTION (and not just "Regulate" abortion incrementally) by passing the Right to Life Act of SC; and 2) shine an accountability "spotlight" on these Republican leaders in the SC House who have the power, authority, and responsibility, to be advocates for the most defenseless of human beings, the unborn in the womb, and to do their rightful job, to ESTABLISH JUSTICE and pass the "Personhood" Bill out of committee !
