Anti-abortion ‘personhood’ amendment fails in Mississippi

[poetic_pixie_13]

A constitutional amendment that would have defined a fertilized egg as a person failed on the ballot in Mississippi on Tuesday, dealing the so-called “personhood” movement another blow

This is such a relief.

Between this and Issue 2 over here in Ohio failing, I am dancing in my chair right now. \*_*/

Plus Maine voted same-day registration back in! We went 3 for 4 tonight (Ohio approved their "no health insurance mandate" amendment to their constitution).

I'm so confused about the 'no health insurance mandate' thing. I hadn't even heard about it before today, damn, everything local and online was really focused on Issue 2. @_@

I KNOW! i feel like issue 3 would have done better if it had been talked about more. :( but i'm glad issue 2 failed at least, as well as the personhood bill in mississippi! i was so nervous about both of them all day.

y'all, I live in MS and am watching the news. The man who runs the personhood MS campaign is sitting there telling the newscaster that it only lost because Planned Parenthood and the ACLU came in from out of state and bought a bunch of votes and spread vicious horrible LIES.

OH, he just blamed Haley for losing.

It's kinda sweet.

lol, Personhood USA - totally Mississippi-based! No one from out-of-state involved with getting 26 put on the ballot in the first place!

I'd find their lack of self awareness hilarious if it didn't scare me so much.

Someone is butthurt, haha.

Rock that failure hard into the future, anti-choicers. Let things continue in this manner FOREVER.
