Brownback Gains Endorsement of Key South Carolina Social Conservatives

“He is the genuine conservative in this race and someone we can trust.”

Columbia, SC – U.S. Senator Brownback received endorsements today in South Carolina from two key social conservative leaders. State Senator Kevin L.
Bryant of Anderson and Mr. Hal Stevenson of Columbia have agreed to join the
upcoming South Carolinians for Brownback Steering Committee.

“I’ve always been impressed with Senator Brownback as he is right on the mark on both the fiscal and social issues,” stated Senator Bryant, “Brownback has what it takes to unite the Republican Party and lead us to victory. His message will be very well received here in the Palmetto State.”

Senator Bryant is a leading conservative in the South Carolina legislature, firmly opposing abortion and same-sex marriage. Brownback visited Bryant’s district in December, as he spoke to physicians about healthcare and visited veterans at an Anderson nursing home. Senator Bryant is married with three children.

Mr. Hal Stevenson of Columbia recently completed his term as President of the Palmetto Family Council. He is a businessman, a husband, father of five, and previously led Alan Keyes South Carolina campaigns in 1996 and 2000.

“I’ve known Senator Brownback for many years. He is the genuine conservative in this race and someone we can trust,” said Stevenson.
Senator Brownback expressed appreciation for such support: “Senator Bryant and Hal Stevenson are well respected leaders of the conservative movement in South Carolina. Their support will be a great help in spreading my pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom message to the people of South Carolina.”

Pre-filed Bill S. 0084 ultrasound requirement

by

Before an abortionist can perform the procedure on a patient, they must verify the baby’s gestational age with an ultrasound, they must review the ultrasound pictures with the mother, and the mother must sign an informed consent that she has reviewed the ultrasound pictures. This language simply builds upon current abortion language in the code. This bill has support among those called “pro-life” and “pro-choice”. I am told by those in crisis pregnancy centers that when an ultrasound is viewed, most patients (an estimated 85%) choose life.http://www.scstatehouse.net/sess117_2007-2008/bills/84.htm

Pre-filled Bill S. 0126 gives pharmacists freedom to exercise moral objections

by

Except for pharmacists, all other health care providers are exempt from involvement in procedures because of moral objections. Being a druggist myself, I have a personal issue here. This bill includes abortion inducing medications, but has broader implications. For example, several years ago, one of our pharmacists refused to fill prescriptions for a patient simply because the patient was being overmedicated. The prescriber had the patient on several drugs within the same therapeutic class. I remember him saying “Look hear Doc, you’ve got this girl on enough dope to drop an elephant!” I’d like to see protections for druggists exercising their conscience.http://www.scstatehouse.net/sess117_2007-2008/bills/126.htm

Bravo to Anderson County Council

by

I’m excited to see the Anderson County Council starting off on a good foot.
1-A Forensic Audit: In a losing effort, Bob Waldrep, Cindy Wilson, & Ron Wilson voted for a forensic audit. This would bring clarity of the financial management (or mismanagement) of the taxpayers’ money.

2-Rescinding the reversal of the Blue Laws: Larry Greer, Bob Waldrep, Cindy Wilson, & Ron Wilson voted to rescind the previous council on a reversal of the Blue Laws.

It looks like the Council is making a conservative turn. Again, Bravo!

Pre-filed Bill S. 0086 Caitlyn’s Law

by

This bill is named after Caitlin Elizabeth Wooten.
http://www.spiritofcaitlin.org/caitlinslaw.htm
She was a victim of murder in Oklahoma by an assailant released on bond even though he had been charged with kidnapping. We want to ensure that criminals caught in the act of kidnapping, pointing a weapon and threatening to kill another person would be presumed to be a danger or prove that they can be released to the community or denied bond. It conforms the code with the State Constitution by allowing a judge to deny bail to a person charged with a violent offense after considering the weight of the evidence and the nature and circumstances of the offense. Also, this bill defines kidnapping as a violent crime.http://www.scstatehouse.net/sess117_2007-2008/bills/86.htm
