Public Hearing Statement in support of Right to Life Act of SC - Columbia, SC - Feb. 4, 2010
Constitutional Laws Subcommittee, SC House Judiciary Committee
Right to Life Act of SC "Personhood" Bill - H.3526
Thursday, February 4, 2010, 9:00 AM: Room 511, Blatt Building, State House complex, Columbia, SC
Prepared Remarks by Steve Lefemine, dir. Columbia Christians for Life
Good morning Mr. Chairman, Rep. Delleney, and members of the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee, Rep’s. Harrison, McLeod, Garry Smith, and James Smith. Let heaven and earth record what transpires here today. As about 7,000 judicially innocent pre-birth humans are exterminated by surgical “abortion” in this state each year, principally in three stand-alone “abortion” centers, in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston, the outcome of this hearing is literally a matter of life and death for 1000’s of human beings, whose fate, whether they live or die, is affected by your decisions, actions, and votes or lack thereof, today.
Mr. Chairman, we heard in the internet presentation of the Roe v. Wade oral argument excerpts that the case turned on whether or not the “fetus” a.k.a. pre-birth human being, is accorded the constitutional status of a legal “person” or not. H.3526, the Right to Life Act of SC, or SC Personhood bill, establishes that rights guaranteed by Article I, Section 3 of the South Carolina State Constitution, that no person shall be deprived of life without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws, vest at fertilization for each born and preborn person. I urge, plead, and ask you, in Christ’s Name, to pass this bill today.
As you know, the 2005 SC Attorney General opinion stated, “It is our opinion that … the Right to Life Act – is constitutional on its face.” And also, that “the statute could not be applied in the context of abortion to deny the federal constitutional right of privacy.” [sic] The opinion further stated, “Indeed, in the non-abortion setting, the United States Supreme Court has expressly recognized that such a determination concerning if and when a fetus is considered a “person” is a “traditional state prerogative …”.“ While I disagree that SCOTUS decisions are the supreme law of the land, as per Art. VI. of the U.S. Constitution, and while I believe fundamentally that God’s Law is Higher than Man’s Law, and while I believe that the Declaration of Independence, and the 5th, 14th, 9th and 10th Amendments provide sufficient legal basis for the Sovereign State of South Carolina to uphold the Creator-endowed unalienable right to life, and outlaw child-murder-by-“abortion”; I perceive that the chairman shares neither my Biblical view, nor my Constitutionalist / originalist philosophy of law. Nevertheless, even though the chairman views Roe as entitled to federal supremacy status, the SC Attorney General opinion still provides the chairman with at least three reasons to pass H.3526 today: 1) The Right to Life Act of SC is constitutional on its face, and you expressed on April 5, 2005 when presenting this bill to the full Judiciary Comm., that the Attorney General was willing to defend this statute. The Attorney General and the chairman of the Judiciary Comm., Rep. Harrison, both stated the bill is constitutional on February 14, 2008, at the last ConLaws Subcomm. public hearing for this bill; 2) If Roe is overturned, the SC Personhood Bill could be used to outlaw abortion in South Carolina, as you also expressed on April 5, 2005 in the Judiciary Committee meeting. Placing this law on the books is vital to establishing South Carolina’s position that we protect ALL innocent human life; and 3) An immediate benefit of passing H.3526 is that all non-abortion civil cases would be afforded fetal protection from the moment of fertilization, instead of the much later gestational age of viability. There is ample reason and benefit Mr. Chairman, to pass H.3526 today, and not wait until next year, or some later date.
Former President Ronald Reagan issued a Personhood Proclamation over 22 years ago, on January 14, 1988 – “I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, … do hereby proclaim and declare the unalienable personhood of every American, from the moment of conception until natural death.” In 2009, 15 States pursued Personhood legislation to END “Abortion”: four pursued bills, and 11 pursued state constitutional amendments. In Feb. 2009, a Personhood bill passed the ND House, and a Personhood Amendment passed the MT Senate. In 2010, Iowa is also pursuing a Personhood Amendment. Mississippi is nine days away from their deadline to collect almost 90,000 signatures to place a Personhood Amendment on the ballot. The Miss. Lt. Gov. is helping to lead the effort. Indeed, the hour is late, and the death toll in South Carolina is well over 300,000 children murdered by surgical abortion alone since 1973. Their shed innocent blood cries out to God from the ground for Justice, and if SC does not bring the murderers to justice, then God Himself will become the Avenger of Blood. I believe that Divine Judgment has already begun. George Mason said, “Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities.” “Abortion” is a national sin, 9-11 was a national calamity. More and greater Divine Judgment is coming upon South Carolina and America unless we repent of killing children in the wombs of their mothers. In Psalm 106, God’s Word says that for the sin of child-sacrifice, God “gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.” Our only hope for relief from the grave economic, health, and national security woes of our land and the sense of encroaching tyranny many Americans feel, is Repentance and turning back to God, which will include outlawing the evil practice of child-sacrifice-by”abortion”. Mr. Chairman and subcommittee members, please pass H.3526 TODAY. Thank you.

"Accordingly, it is our opinion that the Right to Life Act is constitutional."

The Right to Life Act of South Carolina (South Carolina Personhood Bill) is constitutional on its face, however if applied to "abortion," would need to be adjudicated (tried in court). [ As Mississippi Lt. Governor Phil Bryant (R) said about the Mississippi Personhood Constitutional Amendment he is endorsing, it is a foregone conclusion that personhood legislation would face a legal challenge in court. ]

Mississippi Lt. Governor (R) leading in ballot initiative drive for Mississippi Personhood Constitutional Amendment
After the dutiful honoring and fear of God (2 Samuel 23:3, Psalm 2, Romans 13:1-4), the FIRST Duty of civil magistrates is to prevent the shedding of innocent blood in their jurisdiction. Mississippi Lt. Governor Phil Bryant is to be commended for having the vision, courage, and integrity to provide leadership in this historic petition drive in Mississippi as it approaches the February 13th deadline of obtaining 89,000+ valid petition signatures so that the Mississippi Personhood Constitutional Amendment can be placed on the Mississippi ballot for a citizen vote.
MISSISSIPPI PERSONHOOD AMENDMENT (2011) - Ballot Initiative # 26
PETITION EXPIRATION DATE: February 13, 2010
www.sos.state.ms.us/elections/initiatives/initiative0026.asp
This is the standard by which candidates for state and federal office should be judged as we enter the 2010 Election season.
ONLY CANDIDATES WHO PUBLICLY ENDORSE LEGAL PERSONHOOD FOR THE PRE-BORN SHOULD BE SUPPORTED.

ANTI-PERSONHOOD Roman Catholic Bishops in Montana rebuked by principled Pro-Personhood Roman Catholic Judie Brown, A.L.L.
"The Montana Catholic Conference has released a statement critical of the efforts of state’s pro-lifers who are seeking recognition of human personhood via a state constitutional amendment."
"I am well aware of the opinions of the “leading pro-life attorneys” who are giving these bishops bad advice. I have found their arguments flawed on several levels. In fact, I recently addressed those of one such attorney, Clarke Forsythe of Americans United for Life, who has insisted that those of us who are working toward human personhood are “heading toward a brick wall.”
"Sadly, his arguments, along with those of James Bopp Jr., Bopp, Coleson & Bostrom’s senior partner and the National Right to Life Committee’s general counsel, appear to have resonated with Catholic bishops for reasons I find both disturbing and antithetical to Catholic teaching."
"We encourage the Catholic bishops of Montana and elsewhere to set aside the disingenuous argument that the passage of a personhood amendment to a state constitution "might trigger an appellate process that could strengthen Roe v. Wade.”
HUMAN PERSONHOOD AND ILL-ADVISED CATHOLIC BISHOPS

[excerpts, emphasis added]
___________________________________________________________
ROME IS OPPOSED TO ENDING "ABORTION" IN AMERICA:
The Vatican / Pope-appointed Roman Catholic Bishops in State after State, at least since 2006, have OPPOSED State-Level Personhood Legislative efforts to END, not just perpetually regulate Child-Murder-by-"Abortion" - as espoused and practiced by fellow Anti-State-Level-Personhood "incrementalists" and Child-Murder "regulators" National Right to"Life" [sic] and CFR/Jesuit-advised Americans United for "Life" [sic].
The Pope's Roman Catholic Bishops have OPPOSED State-Level Personhood Legislation in:
Michigan (2006), Georgia (2008), Colorado (2008 & 2009), Montana (2008 & 2009), North Dakota (2009),
and Florida (2009).
Principled, pro-personhood, (albeit) Roman Catholic, Mrs. Judie Brown once again reports, documents, and exposes this ongoing, repeated OPPOSITION of the Roman Catholic Bishops to ENDING abortion via State-Level Personhood.
If you are a born-again Christian, please pray that God would have mercy upon this principled, courageous pro-life / anti-abortion woman, and that He would open her eyes to the reality that the Roman Catholic Bishops could not maintain this repeated, ongoing Anti-Personhood position over a number of years, without the backing, and indeed, the instruction, of the Vatican / Pope / Jesuit General; and that God would further extend His grace to Judie Brown, and completely deliver her from the false Babylonian religion of Rome, as He has been so merciful to do over the centuries for so many multitudes of other souls, including this writer !

Initiative underway for ‘legal personhood' status for fetus
www.ktuu.com/global/story.asp?s=11411846
Thursday, October 29, 2009
[excerpts, emphasis added]
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Sponsors of an initiative for "legal personhood" are gathering signatures to get the issue on the ballot.
It's an attempt to make a fetus a legal person and it could affect birth control and abortion rights [sic] in Alaska.
Planned Parenthood says if it becomes law, it could lead to police investigating miscarriages.
Sponsors say it's a civil rights issue, and police would only investigate if it appears the miscarriage was actually an abortion.
continued...
"It's 10 percent of those who voted in the last election," Chris Kurka, the ballot's sponsor, says.
"The state responsibility is to protect our rights, and the most fundamental of those rights is the right to life. So what we're doing here is asking the people of the state to sign this initiative, to get it on the ballot, and then to vote for it, so the unborn will be recognized as a person just like the rest of us," Chris says.
Planned Parenthood says if a fetus is recognized as a person, the consequences could range further than intended.
continued...
Another possibility, officials say, is that some birth control methods like an IUD might become illegal.
continued...
"You can never eliminate abortion completely in a society because people are always going to do evil things. It brings to the forefront the issue of whether or not the unborn child is a person or not," says Chris Kurka.
It's time for voters to decide. Kurka hopes more than 30,000 registered voters agree with him and put the issue on the ballot.

Twelve States have active Personhood Legislation efforts underway:
1) Two States have active Personhood Bills filed in their Legislatures (AL and SC).
[ Virginia also has a principled "right to life" bill filed ]
2) Three States have active Personhood Constitutional Amendments filed in their Legislatures (GA, MD, MI)
3) Seven States have active Personhood Constitutional Amendments ballot initiatives / petition drives underway (CA, CO, FL, MS, MO, MT, NV)
In addition, two States, North Dakota and Montana, made history earlier in the 2009 legislative session by becoming the first States to pass intact Personhood legislation in one of the chambers of their Legislatures, before failing in the other chamber. The North Dakota House passed a Personhood Bill on February 17, 2009, and the Montana Senate passed a Personhood Constitutional Amendment on February 26, 2009. (Personhood legislation (Bill) passed in the South Carolina House in 2005 was fatally flawed when a rape exception amendment was added on the SC House floor):

10/22/2009
[excerpts, emphasis added]
Carson City NV. October 22/ Personhood Nevada is pleased to announce yesterday's filing of a citizen-led initiative to amend the Constitution of the State of Nevada, the proposed Amendment reading as follows:
“In the great state of Nevada, the term 'person' applies to every human being.
Article I Section 8 of the Nevada constitution states, ‘No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.’”
continued...
The amendment applies the term “person” to every human being in a straightforward manner understandable by all, including children. Scientifically, the term 'human being' includes everyone possessing a human genome specific for an individual member of the human species, from the beginning of his or her biological development, without discrimination as to age, health, reproduction method, function, physical or mental dependency, or cognitive ability.
continued...
As a citizen-led initiative, approximately 97,000 signatures are necessary for the proposed amendment to be placed on the 2010 statewide ballot.

Updated: 10/21/2009 05:40:18 PM PDT
CARSON CITY, Nev. A proposed initiative that seeks to ban abortions in Nevada has been filed with the secretary of state's office.
A group called Personhood Nevada, led by Richard Ziser, filed the initiative paperwork on Wednesday.
The initiative would amend Nevada's constitution to extend due process rights to "everyone possessing a human genome."
Ziser, who led the successful gay marriage ban in Nevada earlier this decade, could not be reached for immediate comment.
Backers would need to gather 97,002 signatures to qualify for the 2010 general election ballot.
Similar petition drives are being organized in other states around the country.

For Immediate Release: Democrat-Led Personhood
Amendment Introduced In Michigan Legislature
Submitted by jsutherland on Sat, 10/17/2009 - 17:46
Lansing, MI - October 17, 2009
Michigan has joined with dozens of other States that are seeking affirmation of personhood rights for all humans.
Rep. Jim Slezack (Democrat) is the the lead sponsor of the amendment, and is cosponsored by Paul Scott, Tim Moore, Richard LeBlanc, James Bolger, Kevin Green, Rick Jones, Pete Lund, Matt Lori, John Walsh, Kenneth Kurtz, Tom McMillin, Robert Dean, Bob Genetski, Wayne Schmidt, Joe Haveman, Kevin Daley, Marty Knollenberg, Eileen Kowall, Goeff Hansen, Dudley Spade, Joel Sheltrown, and Jeff Mayes.
The Michigan Personhood Amendment states:
SEC. 28. (1) EVERY HUMAN PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE, WHICH IS THE PARAMOUNT AND MOST FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT GUARANTEED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THIS STATE.
(2) WITH RESPECT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL AND INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE, THE WORD "PERSON"
APPLIES TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS, IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE, RACE, GENDER, HEALTH, FUNCTION, CONDITION
OF DEPENDENCY, INCLUDING PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DEPENDENCY, OR METHOD OF REPRODUCTION,
FROM THE BEGINNING OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING FERTILIZATION.
“It is tremendous that for the first time in Michigan Legislature history, an Amendment has been introduced to protect ALL humans no matter how small, by love and by law,” commented Cal Zastrow, Co-founder of Personhood USA.

What is Personhood USA?
Personhood USA is a grassroots Christian organization founded to establish personhood efforts across America to create protection for every child by love and by law. Personhood USA is committed to assisting and supporting Personhood Legislation and Constitutional Amendments and building local pro-life organizations through raising awareness of the personhood of the pre-born. When the term “Person” is granted to a human being, it refers to the presence of a particular set of characteristics that grant that individual certain rights such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, to be a person is to be protected by a series of God given and constitutionally protected rights. This terrifies the pro-abortion foes!!!

Personhood USA Press Release above, "Democrat-Led Personhood Amendment Introduced In Michigan Legislature," dated October 17, 2009, being forwarded by Columbia Christians for Life, PO Box 50358, Columbia, SC 29250 / (803) 794-6273
While thankful for the principled pro-life efforts of all those supporting “personhood” for pre-born humans, CCL does not participate in ecumenical pro-life activism.
CCL Note: Personhood USA has been very successful in expanding the Personhood vision in the United States, resulting in the launching of several new efforts in multiple states to ESTABLISH JUSTICE for pre-birth human beings, by vesting legal Personhood, at fertilization, with no exceptions. Because of the leadership and direct efforts of Personhood USA, Personhood efforts have grown and multiplied, helping to grow the goal of establishing Personhood for pre-birth human beings into a national effort, along with the efforts of others.
Unfortunately, Personhood USA is also one of many ecumenical pro-life organizations, despite the admonition of Scripture in 2 Cor. 6:14-18 to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Rome's ongoing strategy of promoting Ecumenism is one major reason for the repeated, documented opposition of US Catholic Bishops (who are accountable to the Vatican's Pope) to passing state-level PERSONHOOD legislation to END "abortion" (i.e., child-murder), in direct opposition to the efforts of Personhood USA and others who are working to establish unborn Personhood.

For Immediate Release: Democrat-Led Personhood
Amendment Introduced In Michigan Legislature
Submitted by jsutherland on Sat, 10/17/2009 - 17:46
Lansing, MI - October 17, 2009
Michigan has joined with dozens of other States that are seeking affirmation of personhood rights for all humans.
Rep. Jim Slezack (Democrat) is the the lead sponsor of the amendment, and is cosponsored by Paul Scott, Tim Moore, Richard LeBlanc, James Bolger, Kevin Green, Rick Jones, Pete Lund, Matt Lori, John Walsh, Kenneth Kurtz, Tom McMillin, Robert Dean, Bob Genetski, Wayne Schmidt, Joe Haveman, Kevin Daley, Marty Knollenberg, Eileen Kowall, Goeff Hansen, Dudley Spade, Joel Sheltrown, and Jeff Mayes.
The Michigan Personhood Amendment states:
SEC. 28. (1) EVERY HUMAN PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE, WHICH IS THE PARAMOUNT AND MOST FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT GUARANTEED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THIS STATE.
(2) WITH RESPECT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL AND INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE, THE WORD "PERSON"
APPLIES TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS, IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE, RACE, GENDER, HEALTH, FUNCTION, CONDITION
OF DEPENDENCY, INCLUDING PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DEPENDENCY, OR METHOD OF REPRODUCTION,
FROM THE BEGINNING OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING FERTILIZATION.
“It is tremendous that for the first time in Michigan Legislature history, an Amendment has been introduced to protect ALL humans no matter how small, by love and by law,” commented Cal Zastrow, Co-founder of Personhood USA.

What is Personhood USA?
Personhood USA is a grassroots Christian organization founded to establish personhood efforts across America to create protection for every child by love and by law. Personhood USA is committed to assisting and supporting Personhood Legislation and Constitutional Amendments and building local pro-life organizations through raising awareness of the personhood of the pre-born. When the term “Person” is granted to a human being, it refers to the presence of a particular set of characteristics that grant that individual certain rights such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, to be a person is to be protected by a series of God given and constitutionally protected rights. This terrifies the pro-abortion foes!!!

While thankful for the principled pro-life efforts of all those supporting “personhood” for pre-born humans, CCL does not participate in ecumenical pro-life activism.
CCL Note: Personhood USA has been very successful in expanding the Personhood vision in the United States, resulting in the launching of several new efforts in multiple states to ESTABLISH JUSTICE for pre-birth human beings, by vesting legal Personhood, at fertilization, with no exceptions. Because of the leadership and direct efforts of Personhood USA, Personhood efforts have grown and multiplied, helping to grow the goal of establishing Personhood for pre-birth human beings into a national effort, along with the efforts of others.
Unfortunately, Personhood USA is also one of many ecumenical pro-life organizations, despite the admonition of Scripture in 2 Cor. 6:14-18 to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Rome's ongoing strategy of promoting Ecumenism is one major reason for the repeated, documented opposition of US Catholic Bishops (who are accountable to the Vatican's Pope) to passing state-level PERSONHOOD legislation to END "abortion" (i.e., child-murder), in direct opposition to the efforts of Personhood USA and others who are working to establish unborn Personhood.
