SC Personhood Bill ALERT - Ask State Senator Jake Knotts (Republican) for Public Hearing for S.450 now
Columbia [ SC State House ] - Senator Jake Knotts (R-W.Columbia/Lexington) today said "No" to Johnny Gardner's (dir., Voice of the Unborn) face-to-face request for a public hearing for S.450 ! Gardner asked Knotts if Knotts would consider letting us have a hearing on Senator Bright's bill
(the SC Personhood Bill) ? Senator Knotts said"No".
Time is running out in the 2009-2010 legislative session to pass S.450, the SC Personhood Bill, to END "abortion". We have perhaps 2-3 weeks to get the bill out of REPUBLICAN Senator Jake Knotts' subcommittee. Even though we have 23 senate co-sponsors ( 1/2 the entire SC Senate), and even though 3 out of 6 members on Jake Knotts' subcommittee itself are co-sponsors, Knotts is refusing to even grant a public hearing !!!

______
Please call Senator Knotts now at both phone numbers above and ask him WHY will he not grant a public hearing for S.450 when 50% of the SC Senate is co-sponsoring the bill, and 50% of his own Judiciary Subcommittee is co-sponsoring the bill ? [ Knotts was appointed as chairman of this subcommittee by Senator Glenn McConnell (R-Charleston), Judiciary Committee chairman, who is NOT a co-sponsor of S.450. ]
Ask REPUBLICAN Senator Jake Knotts to please reconsider his refusal to grant a public hearing,
and to schedule a hearing for S.450 as soon as possible !!!
