South Carolina: Where Self-Defense is a Crime for Some
When Danielle Miller faced an attempted murder charge in South Carolina for allegedly trying to terminate her own pregnancy, the mainstream media presented it as a singular event. They conveniently gloss over the chilling legislative backdrop: South Carolina's 'fetal heartbeat' law, which effectively bans abortions after six weeks with narrow exceptions. This isn't an isolated incident; it's the
predictable outcome of a deliberate political strategy by groups like the National Right to Life Committee, whose state affiliates actively push for fetal personhood laws, criminalizing women and healthcare providers. One might wonder at the moral gymnastics required to cheer on the carceral state's power over personal medical decisions, while simultaneously championing 'freedom.' The silence on
the implications of a state transforming personal tragedy into a felony offense speaks volumes about whose freedom truly matters to these 'pro-life' crusaders. It's not about life; it's about control.
