Issue Position

Protecting the right for a child to live is one of the most basic functions of a society. If our nation fails in this aspect, then how can we expect to protect liberty and constitutional rights?

When it comes to protecting the lives of the unborn, there is no greater advocate in the South Carolina legislature than Lee Bright. Each year, Lee introduces legislation that protects our children from abortion providers. He has fought to block funding to Planned Parenthood abortion clinics on numerous occasions, sometimes shutting down the whole Senate in his effort to save the lives of children.

Lee believes that life begins at conception, and has introduced legislation such as the Personhood Act of South Carolina, which protects life at the earliest stages of a child's development. Other legislation Lee has introduced includes Life Beginning at Conception Act, Pregnant Women's Protection Act, Pain-Capable Child Protection Act and a host of many others throughout the years.

In Texas, efforts to protect children from abortion clinics were successful, which Lee hopes will be replicated in South Carolina. During the 2013 session, Lee introduced similar legislation that was passed in Texas, hoping to shut down abortion clinics across South Carolina.

While, in the U.S. Senate, Lee will continue to work tirelessly to promote life and protect the innocent lives of our unborn children. This can be accomplished by voting for Supreme Court justices that share this basic value for life, which will hopefully result in Roe v. Wade being overturned eventually.
