South Carolina joined 10 other states that have passed the Heartbeat Bill. It prohibits abortion once the heartbeat of an unborn baby can be detected. The bill passed on a party line vote – with two exceptions. Two Democrats, Representatives Russell Ott and Lucas Atkinson supported the bill. Mr. Ott said, “An unborn child is still a human being…I can’t separate myself from that.” He’s right and I laud him for basing his vote on this sound scientific fact – that and his belief in the sanctity of life. Of course, the extreme Planned Parenthood immediately filed a lawsuit to block the bill. But when it’s all said and done, the yes votes will be on the right side of history and that’s the side of life.
