Difference of just FOUR SC Senators forcing South Carolina to continue to FUND State Health Insurance Plan abortions
If just FOUR SC Senators out of the 24 who voted to force Christian pro-life taxpayers to pay for the shedding of innocent blood on April 28th had switched their vote, from pro-child-murder-funding, to a vote to do their duty as civil ministers and protect innocent human life, instead of forcing us to be complicit in the destruction of innocent human life, then South Carolina would have been spared another year of funding child-murder for selected “abortions” in the State Health Insurance Plan, part of the SC State Budget ( 2010-2011 State General Appropriations Bill – H 4657 ). Does SC really expect to be blessed financially in our State finances when some of those finances are used to shed innocent blood, to rebel against God, and violate His Holy Word (Matthew 6:33, Proverb 14:34, Psalm 9:17) ? Our leaders reckon without God.
The final votes in the SC House and SC Senate on the child-murder-funding 2010-2011 SC State Budget conference report could perhaps begin as early as Tuesday, June 1st. The regular legislative session ends for the year on Thursday, June 3rd.
CALL YOUR SC HOUSE AND SC SENATE MEMBERS AND TELL THEM YOU WANT THEM TO VOTE “NO” TO THIS WICKED BUDGET SPENDING PLAN THAT USES YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO DESTROY INNOCENT HUMAN LIVES !!!

SC House-Senate Budget Conference Committee abandons unborn babies in State Budget compromise
The six-man ( FOUR REPUBLICANS, two Democrats ) House-Senate Budget Conference Committee *** agreed to throw out the SC House-passed amendment (March 17-18) banning state-funding of abortions in the State Health Insurance Plan for rape, incest, and unrestricted life of the mother “abortions”, in the FY 2011 State Budget compromise [ FY 2011 State Appropriations (Budget) Bill – H 4657 ].
The Republican-majority SC Senate had earlier (April 28) refused to pass the same amendment.
*** Senators: John Land (D-Clarendon), Hugh Leatherman (R-Florence), and Mike Fair (R-Greenville)
House Representatives: Kenny Bingham (R-Lexington), Bill Clyburn (D-Aiken), and Dan Cooper (R-Anderson).
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” – Proverb 14:34, KJB
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations [ and STATES ] that forget God.” – Psalm 9:17, KJB
With a Republican-majority SC Senate, a Republican-majority SC House, and a Republican Governor, the Christian pro-lifers of South Carolina will still, continue to be forced in the 2010-2011 budget year to fund surgical and chemical “abortions”.
The Republican-majority SC Legislature continues to fund the shedding of innocent blood in our State, polluting the land (Numbers 35:33).
God is Judging South Carolina for over 300,000+ (surgical alone) “ABORTIONS” (Psalm 106:37-44).

BRIGGS v. ELLIOTT and the SC Personhood Bill (S.450 / H.3526)
Just as SC’s Briggs v. Elliott in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (KS) (1954) helped overturn Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), …
So too the SC Personhood Bill can, LORD willing, help overturn
the unconstitutional abomination of Roe v. Wade (1973).
_________________________________________________________________________________
If Briggs v. Elliott, a private lawsuit filed in South Carolina, became part of the historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (KS) (1954) case, which helped overturn the 58-year-old U.S. Supreme Court precedent of “separate but equal” established by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896); which is TODAY commemorated on the panels of the South Carolina State House African American History Monument, …
… Then why cannot the South Carolina Personhood Bill (S.450 / H.3526) be passed and become part of a joint lawsuit with other States passing Personhood legislation (State statutes or constitutional amendments), to overturn the unconstitutional abomination of Roe v. Wade (1973) ? Colorado, has already conducted a State Personhood Constitutional Amendment ballot initiative, in November 2008 – and over 585,000 voters (over 26 %) voted in support of the Colorado Personhood Amendment.

SUBJ: YOUR POSITION ON THE SANCTITY OF LIFE:
1) Support for S.450 / H.3526 – the SC Personhood Bill
2) Commitment to De-fund Abortion in the State Budget
1. With the June 8 Republican Primary for South Carolina Governor just two weeks away, it is my understanding, from looking at your campaign websites, that all four GOP candidates claim to be “pro-life.” However the term “pro-life” means different things to different people. In my view, BEING PRO-LIFE MEANS AGREEING WITH GOD ON THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE WHICH HE HAS CREATED.
2. As candidates for SC Governor, if elected, will you:
a) Publicly support legislative efforts (e.g., S.450 / H.3526 ) to END ALL DECRIMINALIZED ABORTION (no so-called “exceptions” for rape/incest/life-of-the-mother – pre-born human beings are either fully-protected human “PERSONS” in the eyes of the law, with full due process and equal protection rights as guaranteed by Article I., Section 3. of the South Carolina State Constitution, or they are not). Specifically, if this legislation, Lord willing, passes the SC State Legislature, would you be willing to either a) sign it into law, or b) at least, allow the five days constitutionally designated to pass so that the law could take effect without your signature ?
b) Commit not to fund surgical abortions in the State Budget, including such funding in the State Health Insurance Plan, and the State portion of Medicaid, including for rape, incest, and life-of-the-mother abortions, as is the current practice ?
c) Commit not to fund chemical abortions in the State Budget, including such funding in the State Health Insurance Plan, the State portion of Medicaid, Title X (DHEC), or SCHIP ? [ This includes so-called “birth control” / so-called “family planning” drugs and devices which are not only contraceptive in their pharmacological functioning according to the Physicians’ Desk Reference, but which are also abortifacient; e.g., Birth Control Pills, the IUD, Depo-Provera, and other anti-life, child-prevention drugs and devices. ]
3. I would like to know the positions of each of the candidates, by letter or e-mail, concerning these three specific items:
a) Will you publicly support SC Personhood legislation (e.g., S.450 / H.3526 ) to recognize the God-given, unalienable right to life of every pre-born human being (with no “exceptions”) as a legal “person” beginning at fertilization, in South Carolina law ? Will you sign into law, or allow the five days constitutionally designated to pass so that the law could take effect without your signature, if the SC Legislature passes personhood legislation ?
b) Will you commit to veto any State Budget which funds any surgical abortions ?
c) Will you commit to veto any State Budget which funds any chemical abortions ?
4. Thank you for your consideration of this request for your positions on these important right to life issues. The protection of innocent human life is a duty of civil ministers second only to their acknowledge of God (Psalm 2).

MISSOURI CATHOLIC CONFERENCE: “The Official Public Policy voice of the Catholic Church in the Show-Me State”

Approved April 19, 2010
[ excerpts, emphasis added]
It is true that present Missouri law does not outlaw and prevent the scourge that is abortion. However, neither would the proposed Personhood Amendment. No state constitution or state law can overturn provisions of the U.S Constitution or interpretations of the U.S. Constitution by the U.S. Supreme Court. Article IV of the U.S. Constitution states that:
[ sic – the Missouri Roman Catholic Bishops’ statement is wrong, this quote below is not from Article IV. of the U.S. Constitution, but from Article VI. ]
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance
thereof; … shall be the supreme Law of the Land, and the Judges in every state shall
be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary
notwithstanding. (emphasis added)
[ See CCL “Comments on the Fraud and Fallacies of the Missouri Roman Catholic Bishops Statement” ]
Through the Missouri Catholic Conference, and in our day-to-day ministry, we work tirelessly to promote human life from conception to natural death. [ CCL Note: Rubbish ! ] This legislative session, the MCC is working to pass pro-life legislation strengthening Missouri’s informed consent laws [ CCL Note: i.e., Missouri’s incremental, “abortion”/murder, read some information, AND THEN YOU CAN KILL THE BABY laws. ], and assuring that abortion is not provided through the health insurance exchanges established under the new healthcare reform law.
[ CCL Note: God’s Requirement for Murder is JUSTICE, NOT incremental “Regulation” !!! Exodus 20:13, KJB ]
We urge your support and assistance with the Missouri Catholic Conference’s efforts in this regard. You can assist their efforts by joining the MCC Citizen Network at http://www.mocatholic.org/.

– Prayers for Repentance or Imprecation of SC Senators voting in Defiance of the Law of God on April 13 and April 28, 2010.
– SC Senators voted against the SC Personhood Bill (S.450), continuing the shedding of innocent blood ( 7,000+ children murdered in the womb each year in SC ) in a Recall vote on April 13. S.450 recognizes the God-given unalienable right to life of every human being as a “person” beginning at fertilization in SC law.
– SC Senators voted against the pro-life/anti-“abortion”[murder]-funding amendment to the State Budget proposed on April 28, banning abortion funding for rape and incest abortions, and banning all abortion funding for life of the mother abortions, not including when 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.”

Republican-Majority South Carolina Senate votes to continue Abortion-Funding in State Health Insurance Plan by 24 – 17 vote
FOR RELEASE: Thursday, April 29, 2010
FOR FURTHER INFO: Contact, Steve Lefemine, dir., Columbia Christians for Life, Columbia, SC; (803) 794-6273
www.ChristianLifeandLiberty.net, Home and “RTL Act of SC” page
[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. (Proverbs 6:16,17, KJB)
SC Senate Journal – April 28, 2010 – Budget amendment to de-fund State Health Insurance Plan abortions,
introduced by SC Senator David Thomas (R-Greenville)
– Pro-Life, Anti-Abortion-Funding Amendment to SC State Budget championed by Sen. David Thomas (R-Greenville) DEFEATED.
– DEFEATED by Republican-Majority SC Senate (27 R, 19 D), by a vote of 24 – 17.
