What is the Personhood Pledge?
Personhood SC asks all South Carolina state senators and representatives to sign and return a pledge to support and vote for personhood bills S485 (senate bill) and H3920 (house bill). This pledge is also sent to candidates for the South Carolina senate and house during election years.
The pledge has several purposes.
- It provides an ongoing tally of senators and representatives who are committed to support and vote for the bills.
- It lets supporters of the Personhood amendment project know which senators and representatives have not yet committed to supporting the bills, so they know where to concentrate their efforts.
- The pledge serves as a clear public statement of which legislators are truly committed to protecting innocent human life from fertilization onward — and which legislators are not.
