Wade is that only women get pregnant, period. Because the fundamental reality that wasn't denied by Roe v. Wade in 1973, and for that matter for a long time after that, it was inconceivable that you would have to be talking about anyone who might not be a woman who might be pregnant. In other words, in the worldview, even of Roe v. Wade, it does refer to pregnant women, not just pregnant humans. Actually, even more interesting that you probably just heard. Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that the constitution protected a pregnant woman's right to an abortion.' Very interesting by the way. Why? Well, let me go back to that Reuters report. And they're arguing that this legislation is unconstitutional. As soon as you have South Carolina adopt this legislation, you have Planned Parenthood and other groups go to the courts. The argument is by now very well known, but so is the response. By this time, both sides have made their arguments over and over again in books, in courtrooms, in legal decisions, in legislatures. At least if you want to understand the arguments, they're there to be understood. And look both sides know it.Р”Р„t this point in American history, we really do understand the arguments on both sides. We are looking at definitional issues here. How long can those two arguments prevail in one country? That's a question in a very different context. There's a New York argument, there's a South Carolina argument. You talk about two categorical arguments. Meanwhile, in the state of South Carolina, as soon as a fetal heartbeat is detected, the abortion would be illegal.

In recent years, especially very recent years, you've seen it's like New York adopt pro abortion legislation so extreme that even as the media would try to deny this, the truth is, it basically allows for legal abortion right up until the moment of birth. You also understand how far apart we are on a map.

Now you're looking at those two arguments and you recognize just how far apart we are in this society.

It's human life, it is a human life, a human person deserving of full protection. Categorically, the pro-life position is based upon the fact that the unborn child from the moment of conception is indeed a human being. The pro-abortion, it's often disguised as a pro-choice, argument, is really right now down to opposing any restriction on abortion and even arguing that there should be no moral problem with abortion whatsoever. It's really an absolutist argument on both sides. And so we're looking at an absolutist argument and here's something we need to know.

But furthermore, you will notice that the same groups are outraged about any restriction that might prevent or avoid even one abortion. You have criticism of this bill saying that it amounts to an almost total ban on abortion, which by the way, is the logic of the pro-life movement. Also on the record is the fact that you have Planned Parenthood and other groups who are opposed to every restriction on abortion. The legislature and the governor of South Carolina deserve full credit for putting their names on the legislation, voting on the record and being on the record for the sanctity of human life. That is a profoundly different moral statement than if the law were merely hypothetical. It has already predictably been suspended by a court, but the point is the law is there to be suspended. Before we even go further, I want to say a word of appreciation to the legislature in South Carolina, and to South Carolina governor Henry McMaster, for getting this legislation through and signing the legislation. But the reality is this is a serious law now signed into law in South Carolina that sends a very serious and very important moral signal about the affirmation of the dignity of all human life, including the life of the unborn. As Rich McKay of Reuters News Service explains, 'South Carolina governor Henry McMaster signed into law a ban on almost all abortions in the state and the women's health group Planned Parenthood followed with a lawsuit arguing the measure was unconstitutional.' McKay rightly explains this, 'As one of the most restrictive abortion bans, the so-called fetal heartbeat law bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, often at six weeks, and before a woman realizes she is pregnant.' That often here is to be applied to the fact that it's often before a woman realizes she is pregnant.Р”Р„t least we were told that and that's understandable. Last Thursday, he signed the ban into law, and it will effect, at least in its text, an almost complete ban on abortions in the state.

And it has been signed into law by South Carolina's governor Henry McMaster. The headline comes from South Carolina telling us that South Carolina has passed a major abortion ban known as a heartbeat bill.
