We need YOUR phone call —and your power as a constituent—as the Senate returns to take up draconian abortion legislation on the morning of November 9.
Thousands of South Carolinians raised their voice in opposition— and hundreds packed the State House. Nevertheless, SC Senators will take up H.5399 on November 9.
South Carolina already has an extreme abortion law on the books. While it was in effect for 6 weeks, the law caused immeasurable harm to the people in our state.
We ask everyone to call your senator immediately and tell them to vote NO on H. 5399. Phone calls and in-person meetings are the MOST effective thing you can do to move legislators.
The ask
By November 8, call —or visit —your senator.
Even if you've called once, call again. (If you can make an in-person connection, that's always ideal!) Ask your personal Senator to vote NO. to H.5399.
Identify yourself as a CONSTITUENT, the most powerful voice there is. A friendly office assistant will answer and note your views.
