House Bill 3537, known as the Prenatal Equal Protection Act, would define embryos 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.”
“South Carolina is a deep-red state with a Republican Governor and Republican supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature. They have no excuse to avoid passing H. 3537, the only bill in South Carolina that would establish equal protection of the laws for preborn babies,” Ben Zeisloft, communications director for the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, told LifeSiteNews. “This legislation would simply apply the laws already protecting born people from murder to preborn babies as well, treating all image-bearers of God as equally valuable and worthy of protection.”
