64. "In memory of the fallen" - Firefighters, rightly, Yes; Unborn, wrongly, No Charleston, SC fire, June 18, 2007 - nine firefighters killed, most since 9-11, just over one mile from Charleston Women's Child-Murder-by-Abortion center
- Nine brave firefighters sacrificed their lives on Monday, June 18 while fighting a raging fire that was described as a "30-foot tornado of flames," and trying to save the lives of two employees at the Super Sofa Store, 1807 Savannah Highyway (US Rte 17), Charleston, South Carolina. It was the "worst single incident to claim U.S. firefighters lives since the Sept. 11 attacks." (The State, June 19, 2007, Columbia, SC).
- The Charleston Women's Death Camp for Pre-birth Human Beings which has murdered over 46,000 children (1988-2005 alone) is just over one mile (straight line) from the site of Monday's tragedy where nine brave men lost their lives as protectors and rescuers.

65. June 28, 2007 Memo to SC State Representatives:  Will the GOP lose the White House in 2008 ?
After 34+ years, Republicans have still failed to pass fetal "personhood" legislation to end abortion
in our state and nation.  Foreign Invasion (12-20 million illegal aliens) and War (Iraq) are two [of]
God's end-game judgments on nations that shed innocent blood (Abortion).  2 Kings 24:1-4

66. Fetal 'Personhood' denied by Republican-majority SC Legislature in 2007 (2008 ?)
According to the language of Roe, if a Legislature will declare the 'fetus' is legally a 'person ' at fertilization, without 'exceptions,' Abortion is over ! Neither the Republican-majority SC House, nor the Republican-majority SC Senate, even held Judiciary Subcommittee public hearings on the Right to Life Act of SC (H.3284 / S.313) during the entire January 2007 through June 2007 SC Legislative session, finally adjourning June 29.

118. (VIDEO, AUDIO) Witness for Christ, and Fireworks at Constitutional Laws Subcommittee Public Hearing
for SC Personhood Bill - Columbia, SC - February 4, 2010
- REPUBLICAN Con Laws Subcomm. Chairman refused to pass out SC Personhood Bill, until his two incremental,
  "abortion"/murder regulation bills pass the SC Senate.  God's Requirement for Murder is JUSTICE, not Regulation !
- The REPUBLICAN Con Laws Subcomm. Chairman did say, twice, publicly in the hearing, that if the
  SC Personhood gets passed in the SC Senate, then he would get it passed in the SC House  
- Steve Lefemine: "George Mason said, "Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities."  "Abortion"
  is a national sin, 9-11 was a national calamity.  More and greater Divine Judgment is coming upon South Carolina
  and America unless we repent of killing children in the wombs of their mothers.
