A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE JANUARY 22, 2023, AS THE "DAY OF TEARS" IN SOUTH CAROLINA; AND TO ENCOURAGE SOUTH CAROLINIANS TO LOWER THEIR FLAGS TO HALF-STAFF TO MOURN THE LIVES LOST TO ABORTION.
Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper to recognize January 22, 2023, 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 resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize January 22, 2023, as the "Day of Tears" in South Carolina and encourage South Carolinians to lower their flags to half-staff to mourn the lives lost to abortion.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Anne Fitzgerald, executive director of Day of Tears.
