Seriously I wish they would quit with this shit.

Ok I want to see the actual text of the bill itself. I don't doubt that its anti choice and to be opposed fiercely but that phrasing seems rather sensationalist.

(1) the Congress declares that--

(A) the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being, and is the paramount and most fundamental right of a person; and

(B) the life of each human being begins with fertilization, cloning, or its functional equivalent, irrespective of sex, health, function or disability, defect, stage of biological development, or condition of dependency, at which time every human being shall have all the legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of personhood; and

(2) the Congress affirms that the Congress, each State, the District of Columbia, and all United States territories have the authority to protect the lives of all human beings residing in its respective jurisdictions.

That's it.

WTF. And that's at our side. Not theirs. It would have just been at antis had Jezebel and European pro choice network seen fit to stick to the facts; really a personhood bill is by itself atrocious! But hey why just be content to let the facts do their work for you when you can shoot undercut your own cause with sensationalism?

Are you upset because the source is European? Why you are prejusted against European people? And why you label highlighting of law loopholes "sensationalism"? You want to manipulate others to ignore it?
