WAITING ON THE WAITING PERIOD

Is it too much to expect that you wait 24 hours before taking the life of an innocent human being? We spend years of litigation determining the guilt of defendants in capital murder cases before we condemn them to execution. Could we not give one day (24 hours) to think about the death of an innocent human being waiting to be born?

COLUMBIA, S.C. (April 2, 2009) – By a vote of 10-7 on party lines, the Senate Medical Affairs Committee gave favorable approval Thursday to the 24-hour waiting period before abortion. Republicans supported the bill and Democrats opposed it.

The bill which passed the S.C. House in February by a vote of 83-28, now goes to the full Senate where pro-abortion Democrat Brad Hutto of Orangeburg vowed to kill the measure with amendments and “extreme” debate.

South Carolina Citizens for Life asks that you make personal contact with your State Senator to encourage him to support the 24-hour waiting period when it is debated in the full Senate.
