This is the same clown who wants South Carolina to coin their own money, thinks guns manufactured in the state should be exempt from federal regulation, thinks marksmanship should be a high school elective and voted to eliminate funding for a rape crisis center.
An Upstate senator is accusing his Senate colleagues of turning their backs on the unborn and is vowing to repeatedly try to get a bill on the Senate calendar that that would require abortion doctors to be obstetrics and gynecology specialists with hospital privileges and to be board certified.
Sen. Lee Bright, a Spartanburg County conservative who has talked of challenging U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in the Republican primary next year, said his bill is aimed at preventing a situation similar to that involving a Philadelphia doctor, Kermit Gosnell, being tried for murder in connection with a series of late-term abortions.
Prosecutors have said the doctor is accused of delivering live babies and then severing their spinal cords, according to The Associated Press. A jury is deliberating his fate.
Asked by another senator if he felt anyone in the Senate would condone the actions of the doctor, Bright told the Senate he hoped not.
“I think if they had a choice between having a Kermit Gosnell in every abortion clinic versus outlawing abortion, they would have the Kermit Gosnell,” he said of some senators. “I think they are that committed to this ability to kill our unborn children.”
Bright’s bill was defeated in a subcommittee 3-2 last week.
