"The “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act of 2023” would amend the state’s code of laws, redefining “person” to include a fertilized egg at the point of conception, affording that zygote “equal protection under the homicide laws of the state” — up to and including the ultimate punishment: death. The bill was authored by Rep. Rob Harris, a registered nurse and member of the Freedom Caucus; it has attracted 21 co-sponsors to date. Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican who represents South Carolina in the U.S. House, took to the floor on Friday to call attention to the bill, which she sees as part of a “deeply disturbing” trend. (Multiple Texas lawmakers have floated the idea of executing women who have abortions in the past. Those bills, proposed before the Supreme Court overturned Roe, failed.
Abortion is currently legal in South Carolina up to 21 weeks and 6 days; a 2021 ban outlawing abortion at six weeks was struck down by the state’s Supreme Court in January. obtaining medication to terminate a pregnancy without a doctor’s supervision — is illegal in the state, punishable with a fine of $1000 and up to two years in prison. Earlier this month, a Greenville woman was arrested under that law for taking pills to end a pregnancy in 2021."
The good news is.....South Carolina has now approved the use of death by electric chair and firing squad. So the idea of possibly having the chance to stand up one of these baby murdering whores against the wall and shooting her to death will be awesome and definitely a good deterrent to preventing abortion...definitely better than contraceptives or morning after pills.
What is the use of banning abortion if we are going to pick and choose when we want to call this murder? Treat these women like the killers they are and take them out....If someone kills a pregnant woman, we don't think twice about giving that murderer the death penalty, so why are mothers any different? Hopefully, more Republicans across every state will stand up for what is right -- and not be afraid of the backlash....if you truly believe it is murder, nothing should stop you from passing this law.
