H4100 amendment 16 directs that none of the state funds appropriated for family planning shall be expended to directly or indirectly subsidize abortion services and procedures or to an organization that provides abortion services.
The South Carolina State Senate rejected to table H4100 Amendment 16 on April 28, 2021 by a vote of 23 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution. Taxpayer money should not be expended to perform abortions.
