‘They Don’t Deserve to Die’: SC GOP Passes Pro-Life Heartbeat Bill, Democrats Walk Out in Protest
(Worthy News) – Nearly all of South Carolina’s Democrat lawmakers walked out of the state House chamber in protest Wednesday before a vote on a bill that would ban most abortions in the state once the baby’s heartbeat is detected. Republicans voted to pass the measure and it will head soon to Republican Gov. Henry McMaster for his signature.
The proposal already passed the Palmetto state’s Senate on Jan. 28. It faces a final procedural vote that likely won’t change the outcome and will then be sent to the governor. McMaster has promised numerous times in news conferences and formal speeches to sign it as soon as possible.
After holding a news conference to speak against the bill, several other Democrats returned to express their opposition to the measure which has come up for debate in the legislature numerous times over the past decade. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
