South Carolina's pro-life bill to end "legalized" abortion.

by Steve Lefemine

One of the great misconceptions that has paralyzed pro-lifers over the years is that only theUS supreme Court can bring an end to abortion in the United States. This is a great mistake, and one that "history future" may well reveal to us has cost literally millions of lives becauseof the unnecessary and tragic delay in mobilizing pro-life advocates to persist in advancingprincipled pro-life legislation to end America's 32-year abortion holocaust, which has nowmurdered approximately 45 million unborn human beings by surgical abortion alone (andprobably multiple times that number by chemical abortion through Norplant, Depo-Provera,the birth control pill, RU-486, etc.).

There are in fact numerous ways that decriminalized abortion can be ended in America.US supreme Court decisions are not the final, unalterable "Law of the Land." They are not even Legislative decisions!! See Article VI. of the United States Constitution for whatthe U.S. Constitution says are the three things which are the supreme "Law of the Land."You will be surprised to see that noticeably absent, is any mention of decisions by theU.S. supreme Court!

Please call, write, or e-mail your SC State House of Repesentative member today toask him or her to co-sponsor H. 3213 (you can also write/email to Rep. Davenport andRep. Vaughn to thank them for doing the right thing in re-introducing this bill).

Also, Please call, write, or e-mail your SC State Senator today to ask him or her to co-sponsor S. 111 (you can also write/email to Senator Mike Fair to thank him for doing the right thing in re-introducing this bill).
