The raving right wingers are at it again. Over in Mississippi, they are trying to pass Proposition 26. Proposition 26, otherwise known as the Personhood Amendment, would grant the status of human life to embryos.
This would mean almost all abortions would be illegal. If you had an abortion, you would be a murderer.
This means if you undergo fertility treatments and discard extra embryos in Mississippi, you would be a murderer.
In the ALI community, we all know people who have undergone IVF after IVF and, despite numerous transfers, not a single embryo has stuck.
Fertilized embryo equals the POTENTIAL for human life. It is NOT the same thing as a living breathing human being.
Please y'all, spread the word on this fucknuttery. If you live in Mississippi, fight to have this voted down. The vote isn't until Nov. 8th. There is still time to stop this bullshit from becoming law.
* A HUGE thanks and shout out to Monica Mingo for making me aware of this insanity.
**PS...I don't want to turn this into a huge debate about when life begins. I just truly believe this is an individual decision that we all must wrestle with and the government has NO RIGHT to tell us how to handle it.
