ANTI-ABORTION-FUNDING BUDGET AMENDMENT INTRODUCED BY

CHRISTIAN PRO-LIFE SENATOR DAVID THOMAS

[COLUMBIA] – Wednesday, April 28, 2010, the Republican-majority South Carolina Senate refused to restore a state budget amendment banning all abortion-funding for rape and incest abortions, and banning all abortion-funding for life of the mother abortions, except where the “termination of the pregnancy is incidental to the lifesaving intervention” and also stating “The physician shall act in accordance with the standard of care to preserve both [emphasis added] the life of the mother and the life of the pre-born child.”

Christian pro-life Senator David Thomas (R-Greenville) introduced and explained the amendment, then pro-abortion Senator Phil Leventis (D-Sumter) attempted to have it ruled out of order, which failed, and then pro-abortion Senator Joel Lourie (D-Richland) spoke against the amendment and then moved to table Senator Thomas’ amendment. The vote to table (defeat) the amendment passed 24 - 17:

24 “Ayes” voting in support of Tabling motion to defeat Senator Thomas’ pro-life amendment:

Republicans (12): Alexander, Campbell, Cleary, Courson, Fair, Knotts, Leatherman, Larry Martin,
McConnell, O'Dell, Peeler, Rankin

Democrats (12): Coleman, Elliott, Ford, Hutto, Land, Leventis, Lourie, Malloy, Nicholson, Scott, Setzler, Williams


17 “Nays” voting against Tabling motion to defeat Senator Thomas’ pro-life amendment:

Republicans (15): Bright, Bryant, Campsen, Cromer, Davis, Grooms, Hayes, Shane Martin, Massey,
Mulvaney, Rose, Ryberg, Shoopman, Thomas, Verdin

Democrats (2): McGill, Reese


Senator Thomas’ pro-life / anti-abortion-funding amendment was tabled. If that amendment remains tabled in the Senate version of the state budget, that means that the State Health Insurance Plan will continue to fund abortions for rape, incest, and all life of the mother abortions, in the Senate version.

However, the Republican-majority SC House of Representatives, in an hours-long overnight debate session on March 17-18, did already admirably persevere in passing the same pro-life, anti-abortion-funding amendment as the one introduced and now defeated in the SC Senate by Senator Thomas on April 28. So the abortion -funding ban remains in the House version of the budget. If the Senate does not repent of its continuation of state-funding of abortion in the SC State Health Insurance Plan before it gives final approval to the budget bill, that would set up a situation requiring resolution in a joint House-Senate Conference Committee assigned to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of the FY 2010-2011 state budget.

Republican-Majority South Carolina Senate Rejects Opportunity to Advance Personhood Bill by 24-18 vote; Abandons Pre-Born Children

[COLUMBIA] – For the first time in the 12 years since personhood legislation was first introduced in the South Carolina Senate in 1998, a vote regarding the legislation occurred on the floor of the SC Senate today, April 13. Primary sponsor, Christian pro-life Senator Lee Bright (R-Spartanburg) moved to Recall the Personhood Bill, S.450, from Senator Glenn McConnell’s (R-Charleston) Judiciary Committee, where it has been intentionally blocked by McConnell’s hand-picked Judiciary Subcommittee chairman Senator Jake Knotts (Lexington). Senator Knotts has refused to even hold a public hearing on the bill. After a period of debate on Senator Bright’s Recall motion today, an opposing motion to Table the Recall motion was proposed, which passed 24 -18, thereby killing Senator Bright’s valiant effort to Recall S.450 from McConnell’s / Knotts’ Committees.

The Personhood Bill (S.450) has been blocked by McConnell and Knotts despite the dual facts that: 1) 50% of the SC Senate (23 of 46 members – 19 R’s, 4 D’s) is co-sponsoring the bill; and 2) 50% of Senator Knotts’ Judiciary Subcommittee (three of six members) is co-sponsoring the bill. The SC Senate has 27 Republicans, 19 Democrats.

After Senator Bright moved to Recall the Personhood Bill from McConnell’s Judiciary Committee, Senator McConnell went to the Senate podium to speak against the bill, arguing (erroneously) that the bill is unconstitutional [ Note: U.S. Supreme Court decisions are NOT the law of the land, the U.S. Constitution is – Article VI., Sec. 2., U.S. Constitution; it is Roe v. Wade which is unconstitutional ]. Senator Bright then spoke at the podium in support of his bill, Senator Knotts spoke against the bill, Senator Larry Grooms (R-Berkeley) spoke in support of the bill, Senator Chip Campsen (R-Charleston) spoke against the bill, and Senator Phil Leventis (D-Sumter) spoke against the bill. Pro-Abortion Senator Brad Hutto (D-Orangeburg) then moved to Table the Recall motion, with results as follows:

24 “Ayes” voting in support of Tabling motion to kill Recall [ KILL PERSONHOOD ] effort:
Republicans (12): Alexander, Campbell, Campsen, Cleary, Courson, Cromer, Knotts, Leatherman, Larry Martin, McConnell, O'Dell, Peeler
Democrats (12): Anderson, Coleman, Elliott, Hutto, Land, Leventis, Lourie, Malloy, Nicholson, Pinckney, Scott, Setzler

18 “Nays” voting against Tabling motion to kill Recall [ KILL PERSONHOOD ] effort:
Republicans (14): Bright, Bryant, Davis, Fair, Grooms, Hayes, Shane Martin, Massey, Mulvaney, Rose, Ryberg, Shoopman, Thomas, Verdin
Democrats (4): Jackson, McGill, Reese, Williams

The motion to Recall the Bill was tabled, the Personhood Bill was killed for 2010, and 7,000+ Pre-born Children each year will continue to be destroyed in their mother’s wombs in South Carolina, with the help of several professing “pro-life”, professing “Christian”, professing “Republican” SC State Senators.

The SC Personhood Bill (S.450 / H.3526) is constitutional, and meets the express requirement set forth by the U.S. Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade (1973), that “If … personhood is established, … the fetus’ [ pre-born child’s ] right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [ 14th ] Amendment.”

RE: “Life Beginning at Conception Act” – S.450
- The SC Legal “Personhood” for Preborn Human Beings Bill

SUBJECT: Should a child conceived in circumstances of rape be murdered/executed for the sin/crime of his or her father ?


Dear Senator McConnell,

You have presented the circumstance of the conception of a child by a rape victim as one of the reasons you are not supporting S.450, the SC Personhood Bill. Presumably, you believe it is necessary to allow the victimized mother the “legal” [sic] option to kill the judicially innocent pre-born child in her womb.

The simple, straightforward reply to this is that such an act is evil on its face because God has written, with His own Hand, “Thou shalt not kill (murder).” Exodus 20:13 (KJB). No man or woman ever has the authority to change, or to violate God’s Word. If one truly has a right reverence and Biblical fear of God, then God’s Word is fully sufficient and complete for directing us to the proper decision, including in the difficult matter of a woman who has been impregnated by a rapist. The Bible says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge…” (Proverb 1:7, KJB); and also “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom…” (Proverb 9:10). If on the other hand, men attempt to “reckon without God,” and ignore His Divine counsel, then we can arrive at incorrect, foolish, and even wicked decisions; even if in our own humanistic thinking, we believe we are being thoughtful, considerate, or compassionate. The Bible says, “… the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” (Proverb 12:10b, KJB). It is NOT compassionate, it is NOT merciful, it is NOT good, to sustain the option of a woman, even one victimized by a detestable criminal such as a rapist, to murder / execute the child in her womb. That is NOT compassion, it is CRUEL, and it is HATE – hate for the child; how can it be anything else to so violate the child’s humanity, the child’s “personhood”, as to terminally victimize an innocent party to the crime of his or her father ? How is the murder / execution of a judicially innocent human being in the womb of his or her mother, if conceived in a rape, ever consistent with even the most basic fundamentals of law and justice ? How can it be anything but an evil perversion of justice to murder / execute a child for the sin / crime of his or her father ?!!

I believe it is fair to say that you are not only personally not supporting this bill as an individual Senator, but in your role as Judiciary Committee Chairman, you have repeatedly assigned the Personhood bill (which was first introduced in an earlier version in 1998), to an unfavorable Senate Judiciary Subcommittee; certainly this has been the case in the 2005-2006 Session, the 2007-2008 Session; and now, given the refusal of your presently assigned Subcommittee chairman, Senator Jake Knotts, to even granting a public hearing for the bill, is also true for the 2009-2010 Session. This current situation is made more egregious by the dual facts that: 1) 50% of the SC Senate (23 of 46 members) is co-sponsoring the bill; and 2) 50% of Senator Knotts’ Subcommittee (three of six members) is co-sponsoring the bill. While it would appear, numerically, that supporters of the bill lack only one vote to insure success in a Recall effort, one has to wonder how many Senators truly feel they have the liberty to vote their conscience in the matter, and how many fear potential retribution by the President Pro Tempore / Judiciary Chairman down the road ? Are you willing to publicly state these 23 Senators have complete liberty, and no fear of retributive action from you in the future if they vote to Recall this bill ? Or am I being naïve ?; that of course you would take a pound of flesh from them ?

Senator Jake Knotts has also repeatedly brought up the rape issue, and has persisted in his unbiblical and therefore morally unjust view that a woman should have a “choice” to murder / execute her own child because of the sin / crime of a rapist father. Sadly, he maintained this view even when afforded the opportunity to speak face-to-face outside the Senate chamber recently with a woman from Swansea who had been a victim of rape, who conceived, and who gave birth to a daughter, now seven years old, who this mother has received as a blessing in her life. Senator McConnell, you were also presented with the opportunity to speak to this same woman, but expressed your inability to stop and speak at that time. Perhaps you will have another opportunity to hear this woman’s own testimony.

Senator McConnell, you and every other member of the Senate has also been provided a written copy of the testimony of another woman, formerly a resident of Columbia, who had been raped twice, and had conceived twice. She aborted the first baby, and made an adoption plan for the second baby. Her testimony was, “I have been raped twice and have dealt with it both ways.” ABORTION “doesn’t take the rape away; it only adds more guilt and makes a terrible experience more painful.” She continued, “The real victim in a rape pregnancy is the baby. I was a victim but I’m still alive. My baby died a painful, brutal death at the hands of the one who was supposed to protect her – mommy.” Senator McConnell, why will you not heed the testimonies of these women who have lived and dealt with this issue ? “Abortion” doesn’t help anybody, NOT the mother, and certainly NOT the baby. “Abortion” hurts women, and “abortion” kills children – so where is the “good” in any of that ? No, “Abortion” is evil and wrong in the terrible circumstance of rape also.

Senator Knotts has been presented with the name of Ethel Waters, the gifted and well-known singer of an earlier generation (1896-1977). Perhaps you may remember her name also: “Her best-known recording was her version of the spiritual, "His Eye is on the Sparrow", and she was the second African American ever nominated for an Academy Award.” ( Ethel Waters, wikipedia ). How many know the circumstances of this gifted woman’s conception and birth ? “She [ Ethel ] was conceived when her mother, 12 years old at the time, was raped at knifepoint.” [emphasis added] ( www.answers.com/topic/ethel-waters ) Her mother was raped at knife-point – should Ethel Waters have been aborted ? The unjust position of Senators Glenn McConnell and Jake Knotts is that murdering / executing such a one as an Ethel Waters today should be permitted by law. Glenn McConnell and Jake Knotts would justify the taking of such a one’s life today, denying an Ethel Waters her very life, and denying the world the gift that such a one as her life could become. “Waters' recording of "Stormy Weather" (1933) was honored by the Library of Congress. It was listed in the National Recording Registry in 2004.” ( Ethel Waters, wikipedia ).

There are more life-honoring testimonies that could be given. One last one will be given here, that of Julie Makimaa, who actually testified in person before a subcommittee of the South Carolina House in the early 1990’s. Makimaa was also conceived in a circumstance where her mother was raped, and her victimized mother made an adoption plan for her daughter Julie. Julie Makimaa became a recognized public speaker (internet search: “Julie Makimaa”). One author (David C. Reardon, Ph.D.) reported about Julie: “Regarding her own view of her origin, Julie proclaims: "It doesn't matter how I began. What matters is who I will become." www.afterabortion.org/rape.html

Senator McConnell, my prayer is that neither you, nor Senator Knotts, will continue to presume that you, the child’s mother, or any of us, can ever presume to forecast or determine what some child conceived in the terrible circumstance of a rape might become, whether an Ethel Waters, a Julie Makimaa, or some other human being created in the image of God, the sanctity of whose right to life, as given by God alone, is inviolate.

REPUBLICAN SC Senate Leader Glenn McConnell BLOCKING Personhood Bill

SC Senate President Pro Tempore and Judiciary Committee Chairman
REPUBLICAN Glenn McConnell (Charleston), with the help of his hand-picked
Subcommittee Chairman REPUBLICAN Jake Knotts (W.Columbia / Lexington ),
are PERPETUATING "ABORTION" in the entire State of South Carolina
by BLOCKING the SC Personhood Bill, S.450.

South Carolina has already "surgically" slaughtered well over 300,000 children in the womb since 1973 !

Does Glenn McConnell really want to take Legislative responsibility for perpetuating the murder of approximately 7,000 pre-birth human beings per year in South Carolina ???

1. Even with 23 co-sponsors ( 50% of the entire 46-member SC Senate ) on the SC Personhood Bill (S.450), and even with three co-sponsors out of the six members of the Judiciary Subcommittee that is holding S.450, the Subcomm. chairman, APPOINTED BY SENATOR GLENN McCONNELL, i.e., SENATOR JAKE KNOTTS, IS REFUSING TO EVEN ALLOW A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BILL !!!

2. REPUBLICAN Senator Glenn McConnell is the most senior member of the Majority Party on the Senate Judiciary Committee; and according to Senate Rules, that automatically makes him the Judiciary Committee Chairman. The Chairman picked the members of the ad hoc (i.e, not "Standing") Subcommittee to assign to handle S.450, and the Chairman also picked the Subcommittee Chairman. So, Sen. McConnell picked Sen. Knotts, and Knotts is refusing to even hold a hearing, much less an actual vote on the Personhood Bill.

PLEASE CONTACT SENATOR GLENN McCONNELL (Republican - Charleston) AND ASK HIM TO REQUEST HIS SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, SENATOR JAKE KNOTTS (Republican – W.Columbia / Lexington) to grant the SC Personhood Bill (S.450) a public hearing as soon as possible.

3. The Republicans have been the Majority Party in the SC Senate since January 2001, and
presently hold an eight-vote advantage in the SC Senate, with 27 Republicans (the professedly
"pro-life" party) and 19 Democrats. The 23 co-sponsors of S.450 include 19 Republicans
( leaving eight Republicans who are presently not co-sponsoring the bill [ Alexander,
Campbell, Campsen, Courson, Knotts, Leatherman, McConnell and Rankin ] ).


Please contact REPUBLICAN Senator Glenn McConnell as soon as possible. Call, write, visit, fax.
The South Carolina Senate is not in session the week of April 4 through April 10. So Senators will not be returning to the State House in Columbia to meet in session again until Tuesday, April 13, at 12:00 noon.
Ask Senator McConnell to request his hand-picked Judiciary Subcommittee Chairman, i.e., Republican Senator Jake Knotts, to schedule a public hearing for S.450, the SC Personhood Bill, to establish in SC law human beings are "persons" from the moment of fertilization, as soon as possible.

Time is beginning to run out in the 2010 session to pass this bill, and to ESTABLISH JUSTICE for pre-birth human beings, by establishing personhood at fertilization for ALL Human Beings in SC law.

SC Senate Journal - March 30, 2010 - Remarks of SC Senator Mike Rose (R-Dorchester/Charleston)

www.scstatehouse.gov/sess118_2009-2010/sj10/20100330.htm

Excerpts:

"There is a trend in the last few years in the U.S. Supreme Court. I've got three cases here in which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld state laws that conflicted with laws of the federal government."

"Today we have a new theory. We have a new plan of action endorsed by the U.S. Supreme Court steadily growing, case by case, to carve out areas in which the states can preserve their own rights. And we should take advantage of this."

"We need to pass more legislation that preserves fundamental rights for the citizens of our states; ... "

"When you hear lawyers and their conflicting theories -- I think it's been pretty much one-sided what's been said here today -- remember there is authority that allows states to pass laws that give our citizens more protections than does the federal government, and only by testing new laws, step by step, are we going to see what the outer limits of those state protections are. I think we ought to proactively establish and litigate what are our citizens' rights. We ought to be -- I wouldn't use the word ashamed -- but how can we justify -- how can we say when our forefathers sacrificed so much to stand up to federal authority, that we're not now going to take advantage of this legal way of doing the same, just because it might cost a lot of attorney fees or be a lot of trouble?"

Republican Leadership in SC Senate Blocking Personhood for Pre-born Bill - S.450

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

March 26, 2010

"Republican Leadership in SC Senate Blocking Personhood for Pre-born Bill - S.450"


Columbia [ SC State House ] - On Thursday (March 25) Senator Jake Knotts (R - W.Columbia / Lexington) said "No" to Johnny Gardner's (dir., Voice of the Unborn) face-to-face request for a public hearing for S.450 ! Gardner asked Republican Senator Knotts if Knotts would consider letting us have a hearing on Senator Bright's bill (the SC Personhood Bill) ? Senator Knotts said "No".

Time is running out in the 2009-2010 legislative session to pass S.450, the SC Personhood Bill, to END "abortion". We have perhaps 2-3 weeks to get the bill out of REPUBLICAN Senator Jake Knotts' subcommittee. Even though we have 23 Senate co-sponsors ( 1/2 the entire SC Senate ), and even though three out of six members on Jake Knotts' subcommittee itself are co-sponsors, Knotts is refusing to even grant a public hearing !!!

Please call Senator Jake Knotts now at (803) 755-6253 (H) and (803) 212-6350 (O) and ask him WHY will he not even grant a public hearing for S.450 when 50% of the entire SC Senate is co-sponsoring the bill, and 50% of his own Judiciary Subcommittee is co-sponsoring the bill ? [ Knotts was appointed as chairman of this Judiciary subcommittee by Senator Glenn McConnell (R-Charleston), Judiciary Committee chairman, who is NOT a co-sponsor of S.450. Republican Senator Glenn McConnell is also President Pro Tempore of the SC Senate. ]

Ask REPUBLICAN Senator Jake Knotts to reconsider his refusal to grant a public hearing, to stop trying to block this pro-life / anti-abortion legislation designed to recognize pre-birth human beings as "persons", and to schedule a hearing for S.450 as soon as possible !!! Additional information is available on the home page of http://www.christianlifeandliberty.net/

Also call Republican Judiciary Committee chairman and SC Senate Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell at (843) 571-3921 (H) and (803) 212-6610 (O) and (843) 747-7554 (Bus.), and ask him why his appointed subcommittee chairman, Senator Jake Knotts, is refusing to even grant a hearing for S.450 ? Request Sen. McConnell to ask Sen. Knotts to schedule a public hearing for S.450.

God is judging South Carolina for over 300,000 [ surgical ] "abortions" - Read Psalm 106:37-44, KJB. When we are concerned enough about the right to life of the innocent pre-born to cry out for JUSTICE for THEM [ NOT just "regulation" of their murder ], THEN God will deliver US from the wicked rulers and their encroaching statist tyranny which has already begun to oppress us. ESTABLISH JUSTICE for the pre-born - PASS S.450 - the SC Personhood Bill.

Please call Senator Knotts now at both phone numbers above and ask him WHY will he not grant a public hearing for S.450 when 50% of the SC Senate is co-sponsoring the bill, and 50% of his own Judiciary Subcommittee is co-sponsoring the bill ? [ Knotts was appointed as chairman of this subcommittee by Senator Glenn McConnell (R-Charleston), Judiciary Committee chairman, who is NOT a co-sponsor of S.450. ]

Ask REPUBLICAN Senator Jake Knotts to please reconsider his refusal to grant a public hearing, and to schedule a hearing for S.450 as soon as possible !!!

Republican Leadership of SC General Assembly Refuses to Pass Personhood for Pre-born

LETTER TO THE EDITOR / OP-ED

March 15, 2010 / Revised March 27, 2010


"Republican Leadership of SC General Assembly Refuses to Pass Personhood for Pre-born"

For TWELVE YEARS now (beginning in 1998), "Personhood" legislation has continually, every session, been filed in the SC Legislature, without being passed into law. As we approach the 2010 Primaries and General Election, some Christian and constitutionalist voters are taking a harder look at whether or not certain Republican officeholders are actually "RINO's". The question should be asked, "Who are the SC House and Senate members blocking passage of legislation recognizing the legal PERSONHOOD of pre-born human beings from the moment of fertilization ?"

Republicans have continually been in the Majority in the SC House since Jan. 1995, and Republicans have continually been in the Majority in the SC Senate since Jan. 2001, and yet this bill has only passed the SC House once in April 2005 (albeit with a fatal flaw rape exception), before being sent to the Senate, and dying after two public hearings. The Creator-endowed unalienable right to life is held to be the first of the "self-evident" "truths" of the 1776 Declaration of Independence, which is part of the organic law of the United States Code. There are presently 73 Republicans and 51 Democrats in the SC House, giving the supposedly "pro-life" party a plus 22-vote advantage. In the SC Senate, there are presently 27 Republicans and 19 Democrats, giving the supposedly "pro-life" party a plus eight-vote advantage. The SC Personhood Bills (H.3526 and S.450 at www.scstatehouse.gov) are being held up by the Republican House and Senate Leadership. The House version (H.3526) presently has 54 co-sponsors (including five Democrats), however neither the Constitutional Laws Subcommittee chairman (Rep. Greg Delleney, R-Chester), nor the Judiciary Committee chairman (Rep. Jim Harrison, R-Columbia), nor the House Speaker (Rep. Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston) are co-sponsors of the bill. The Senate version (S.450) presently has 23 co-sponsors (including four Democrats), which is 50% of the entire SC Senate, however neither the Judiciary Subcommittee chairman (Sen. Jake Knotts, R-West Columbia / Lexington), nor the Judiciary Comm. chairman (Sen. Glenn McConnell, R - Charleston), nor the Senate President Pro-Tem (also Sen. Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston), are co-sponsors of the bill. Last month (Feb. 4), a public hearing was held for H.3526, however no vote was taken; just as no vote was taken in a Feb. 2008 public hearing.

It is the REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP in the SC House and SC Senate which is protecting the ongoing slaughter of the pre-born, approx. 7,000 pre-birth children murdered in their mothers' wombs each year in South Carolina, by surgical abortion alone. It is the shed blood of innocent children which is crying to God from the ground for JUSTICE (not just incremental "regulation") which God Himself is hearing, and repaying, with Divine Judgment, in turning South Carolina and America over "into the hand of the heathen", such that "they that [hate us rule] over [us]", and "[our] enemies also [oppress us]". Read Psalm 106:37-44, KJB. When we care enough to cry out for JUSTICE for the Pre-born, THEN God will deliver us.
