TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 53-3-265 SO AS TO DESIGNATE THE TWENTY-SECOND DAY OF JANUARY OF EACH YEAR AS "DAY OF TEARS" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper to recognize January twenty-second of each year as the "Day of Tears" in South Carolina in memory of all of the lives lost to abortion; and
Whereas, on January 22, 1973, the majority of the members of the United States Supreme Court erroneously ruled that abortion was a right secured by the Constitution of the United States of America; and
Whereas, since that ill-fated day, over sixty-one million (61,000,000) preborn children in the United States have perished. Now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Chapter 3, Title 53 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 53-3-265. The twenty-second day of January of each year is designated as 'Day of Tears' in South Carolina."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
