Right To Life Act of South Carolina (SC Personhood Bill)

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
effort to Recall S.450 from McConnell’s / Knotts’ Committees.

S.C. Unlikely To Pass Fetus 'Right To Life' Bill This Year

COLUMBIA -- Supporters of legislation that would grant a “right to life” to fetuses have been unable to schedule a vote on the issue
in the South Carolina Senate, making it unlikely the measure will pass this year. While it did not mention abortion, the bill by Sen. Lee Bright,
a Spartanburg County Republican, would vest the right to life under the state's Constitution to a fetus upon conception, a move opponents
said could make abortion an act of manslaughter or murder and cause problems in wills and trusts. Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell,
a Charleston Republican who also chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, argued Tuesday the bill would invite an expensive lawsuit the state would not win.
