South Carolina abortion ban bill dies in late-night vote
ABC News ^ | May 4, 2018

Posted on 05/05/2018 6:14:41 AM PDT by SMGFan

South Carolina's Senate has effectively killed a ban on almost all abortions in the state, voting early Friday morning to return the bill to committee.

Five Republicans joined Democrats in the 24-21 vote, which came after Democrats held the Senate floor for an hours-long filibuster. The measure, now dead for this year, would only have allowed abortions in cases of rape, incest or risk of the mother's life.

"Five Republicans joined Democrats in the 24-21 vote..."

Just enough traitors to keep the slaughter going.
If these five aren't primaried, South Carolina is dead.

SC is not nearly as conservative as its reputation. Even they can’t field good Republican candidates in all districts.

Why should an innocent party pay with loss of life for the first two behaviors that caused the pregnancy? And in truth, hw often is the mother's life at risk unless the baby is killed?

hours-long filibuster

Enough with these. No one listens. No one cares. Order up pizza and beer and watch a movie on their laptops.

I did a search, to see if we could find out who the five traitor RINO baby killer Republicans are, who voted with Dems, to kill this bill.

NOT ONE article, not even the LifeSite article, names names of these five evil traitors.

If anyone can find out their names, please post here.

One Dem complained of being hungry for Chinese food, so an abortion supporter drove to a Chines restaurant and brought back egg rolls.

With Five You Get Eggrolls.

I wonder how many pro-life supporters there were in attendance.
