REPUBLICANS IN S.C. SENATE PROLONG CHILD-KILLING:
The Republicans in South Carolina are the majority in the SC House (74 R's to 50 D's).
The Republicans in South Carolina are the majority in the SC Senate (26 R's to 20 D's).
The Republicans in South Carolinaoccupy the Governor's office, the
Lt. Governor's office, and the Attorney General's office.
REFUSE TO TAKE ACTION TO PASS the "Right to Life Act of South Carolina"
South Carolina's pro-life bill to end "legalized" abortion (House bill H.3213 / Senate bill S.111)
The 2006 regular session of the SC Legislature is scheduled to end on June 1, 2006.
Incredibly, even though the SC House version (H.3213) of the Right to Life Act of SC passed
the SC House on Second Reading (with 52co-sponsors:47 R's and 5 D's), on April 13, 2005
by a vote of 95Y to 18N (albeit with a fatal flaw rape exception amendment that must be removed),
the bill has gone nowhere in the SC Senate after two hearings in the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
chaired by Senator Jim Ritchie (R). It has now sat in Senator Ritchie's Subcommitteefor over
one year, and there are less than 30 days left in the 2006 session. If nothing changes, the bill
will die June 1st, and the 6,500+ children murdered every yearin South Carolina by surgical
abortion, primarily at the state's three abortion centers in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston,
will have to wait until the 2007 session for new legislation to pass, at the earliest.
Of the 26 Republicans in the SC Senate, only seven have signed on as co-sponsors of S.111:
Sponsors: Senators Fair, Bryant, Grooms, Thomas, Verdin, Hayes and Ryberg
You can see the text and co-sponsors of bills H.3213 and S.111 from the homepage link at: or go to the SC Legislative website at:
So only 7 (27%) out of 26 Republicans are co-sponsoring a bill to end the killing of 6,500+
pre-birth human beings in South Carolina each year (2004 statistics:Charleston abortion center:
2,835murdered; Greenville abortion center: 2,359murdered; Columbia abortion center: 1,335murdered)
Below are the Republican SC State Senators who are not co-sponsoring S.111 (not a single one
of the Democrat Senators are co-sponsors, not even those Senators who are also church ministers !):
