These 25 Republican Reps Are Out of Step With Their Platform and Their Party
The SC GOP Platform says:
We believe that ALL HUMAN LIFE has intrinsic worth and therefore support vigorous legal protection at all stages of life…
The SC Republican Party sent out a Pro-Life Action Alert on Monday August 15th, stating:
We need this bill to pass out of the House Judiciary Committee with NO NEW AMENDMENTS! New amendments could kill the bill and threaten pro-life progress in South Carolina.
These 25 GOP Reps Are Out of Step With the Entire South Carolina Pro-Life Community
The following organizations have all called for H5399 to pass without amendments:
- SC Citizens for Life
- SC Baptist Convention
- Palmetto Family Council
- The Catholic Diocese of Charleston
- National Students for Life
- SC Christian Chamber of Commerce
- Carolina Pregnancy Center
- Alliance Defending Freedom
What can you do?
Please send the twenty-five confused GOP Reps the following message:
Back in April of 2019, you voted with Democrats, failing to protect ALL human life. You placed yourself out of step with the SC Republican Party and the entire SC pro-life community. If you want to be taken off the list of “25 CONFUSED GOP REPS”, please send an email to office@personhood.sc pledging to PROTECT ALL HUMAN LIFE and promising to vote against any rape, incest, or fetal anomalies exceptions to H.5399
You can also text this message to the reps with mobile numbers.
