[Excerpts, highlighting emphasis added]
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Abortion foes rallied outside the Statehouse on Monday to call on
South Carolina legislators to outlaw abortions on the anniversary of the case that made them legal. [sic]
"Today marks one of the darkest days our country has known," the Rev. Charles Butler, of
Souls Afire Baptist Church in Orangeburg, said of the Roe v. Wade decision, handed down
34 years ago Monday.
He urged anti-abortion activists to get involved in government. "It is high time we take our
government back from the infidels," Butler said.
Voice of the Unborn director Johnny Gardner said he fears God will destroy America
for its sinfulness.
"Either we repent or, as a nation, we will parish," said Gardner, who's frequently seen
inside the Statehouse carrying dolls and pushing strollers to protest abortion.
He criticized state senators for letting a bill dubbed the "Right to Life Act," which cleared the
South Carolina House in 2005, die in committee. The bill, which would extend legal rights to
fertilization, was reintroduced in the House last week.
Gardner also asked lawmakers to approve a monument on Statehouse grounds recognizing
fetuses aborted in South Carolina to "express sorrow, remorse, repentance."
Steve LeFemine [correction: Lefemine], of Columbia Christians for Life, called abortion "evil"
and said South Carolina should lead the nation in testing Roe v. Wade.
"You know who's behind abortion? Satan himself," shouted the Rev. Stan Craig of Choice Hills
Baptist Church in Greenville. "Our American flag has been turned into a bloody butcher's apron. ...
Our American flag is dripping with the blood of innocent children."
