Mississippi Initiative 26

“Be it Enacted by the People of the State of Mississippi: SECTION 1. Article III of the constitution of the state of Mississippi is hereby amended BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION TO READ: Section 33. Person defined. As used in this Article III of the state constitution, “The term ‘person’ or ‘persons’ shall include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.” This initiative shall not require any additional revenue for implementation.”

Why is this a problem? Please click through to Keiko’s post, which covers this issue much better than I ever could.

Do I believe the wording of Initiative 26 is dangerous? Yes, I do.

Do I believe, if passed, this language will remain only in Mississippi? No, I do not.

Did I pledge my support to stand against Initiative 26 in Mississippi? You bet I did.

    Rock on. Thanks for the reblog and link back. I'm hoping we can keep the momentum going over the weekend to defeat this initiative in MS!
