Episode Details

South Carolina lawmakers have introduced a flurry of bold pro-life bills this session aimed at strengthening protections for unborn children.

One bill would ban dismemberment abortions, ending one of the most brutal procedures. House Bill 4654 would criminalize forcing a woman into having an abortion against her will. House Bill 3537, the Prenatal Equal Protection Act, would define unborn babies at any stage of development as “persons,” ensuring that “an unborn child who is a victim of homicide is afforded equal protection under the homicide laws of the state.

By recognizing the humanity of the unborn and aligning the law with science, these measures affirm that every life has value. Lawmakers who support life deserve praise for advancing policies that protect women and their children, and for treating the preborn with the equal dignity they deserve under the law.
