How to Pass the Personhood Act

View in browser Personhood, Pro-Life Bills, & the 124th General Assembly — Part 3 The Personhood Act Personhood South Carolina exists for one purpose: to pass the Personhood Act of South Carolina. This act would proclaim: The General Assembly finds that a human being is a person at fertilization. And further: The rights guaranteed by Section 3, Article I, of the Constitution of this State—that no person shall be deprived of life without due process of law nor denied the equal protection of the laws—vest at fertilization for each born and preborn human being. In other words, South Carolina would recognize that persons inside the womb enjoy the same rights as persons outside of it. How are we going to do that? We'll go into in our last email. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving! We praise God for you and your love for the preborn in South Carolina.

Priorities of the South Carolina Republican Party

View in browser Personhood, Pro-Life Bills, & the 124th General Assembly — Part 2 Priorities of the South Carolina Republican Party As we've pointed out before, the SC GOP maintains the personhood of preborn children in its party platform: We believe that the right to life is the first inalienable right, without which there can be no other rights. We believe that all human life has intrinsic worth and therefore support vigorous legal protection at all stages of life, from the unborn child to the elderly to the infirmed and disabled. And: We believe the Fourteenth Amendment's protection applies to unborn children. Unborn children should be classified as legal persons not as legal property. By longstanding tradition, however, the state's Republican party only passes (or attempts to pass) a single pro-life bill per legislative cycle. Why? Many party members claim that such bills are time-consuming and resources must be reserved for other legislative matters. In other words, there isn't a good reason. But for now, that's the way it is. For the current, 124th General Assembly the #heartbeatbill was it. That bill is now tied up in court challenges, where it's not protecting anyone—just like similar bills passed in other states.

UPDATE: "An unprecedented year so far for voting legislation"

Congress could take action to reverse the effects of these voter suppression laws.

Robert,

UPDATED REPORT: The Brennan Center recently updated their voter suppression bill tracker -- anti-voting lawmakers in 19 states across the country have passed 33 laws that make it harder to vote.

The All On The Line Team is executing an advocacy campaign to help reverse the effects of some of these laws by pressuring the Senate to pass the Freedom to Vote Act -- especially since midterm elections are now less than 365 days away!

We set a mid-month goal of raising $36,500 by Monday at 11:59pm to continue this work. Will you pitch in?

This wave of voter suppression laws is part of a trend. A study this year found that over the past decade, 25 states have enacted new voting restrictions like unnecessary photo ID requirements, limits on early voting, and rules that ultimately make it harder to register to vote.

The current spike -- 425 introduced bills and 33 enacted laws -- is a direct reaction to the 2020 elections, which drew the highest voter turnout rate in more than a century.

Partisan politicians across the country are trying to disenfranchise voters and manipulate maps before the 2022 midterm elections. Just look at Georgia -- after passing one of the nation's worst voter suppression laws earlier this year, the General Assembly proposed legislative maps that double down on current gerrymanders.

It's not too late to ensure the voting laws and congressional maps in every state are fair before the midterm elections. We can protect the right to vote and end partisan congressional gerrymandering by passing the Freedom to Vote Act.

We only have one more day to reach our goal. Will you give a donation to All On The Line right now? We're asking people to chip in $36.50 if they can -- it's about our average grassroots donation since the last midterm elections.
