Unborn Victims of Violence Act Introduced in State Legislature

State Representative Jonathan Hill has introduced House Bill 406 to the South Carolina Legislature. The bill, titled “The Unborn Victims of Violence Act” calls for a state budget amendment that would defund all providers of abortion.

The bill would add an article that states the deliberate termination of an unborn child by any means or at any stage of development is murder; it would create criminal penalties and declare certain abortion related US Supreme Court Decisions void and unenforceable in the State of South Carolina.
