Does Mississippi Have a Chance at Redefining Personhood and Banning Abortion With Next Week’s Vote?

On election day next week, Mississippians will not only vote for a new state leader but also the definition of personhood, a story which The Blaze began to cover last month.

Initiative 26, if passed, would redefine a person in the Mississippi constitution as “every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the functional equivalent thereof.”

And while Colorado has tried twice and failed to redefine personhood to be as basic as egg and sperm uniting, some believe Mississippi may have a better chance. As Nature News reports, both men running for governor — republican and democrat — and the state attorney general, a democrat, have come out saying they believe human life begins at conception, endorsing Initiative 26. NPR reports initiative supporters casting a wide net to spread the word:

Les Riley has worked on the initiative for years, gathering signatures to get it on the ballot. Now, in northwest Mississippi, he’s talking to voters and assembling yard signs that urge the passage of Amendment 26.

“We started out with no money [and] four families in my living room and we ended up with over 2,000 volunteers spread all the way across Mississippi,” Riley says.

Part of Riley’s strategy is going door to door in small towns like Senatobia.

Mississippis Initiative 26 Could Define a Fetus as a Person, If Passed

Ad for Initiative 26.

Even with a slew of support from religious groups and citizens, there is naturally opposition. NPR reports that opponents say the amendment to the constitution wouldn’t just redefine personhood and therefore ban abortions and stem cell research, but that it covers more:

They contend the language is so broad and vague it could ban some forms of birth control like IUDs and the morning-after pill. They also say it could affect how doctors treat ectopic pregnancies and throw into question fertility procedures.

[...]

The Mississippi State Medical Association won’t support the measure, and others directly oppose it, including Doctors Against MS 26. Infertility specialist Randall Hines says theoretically doctors could be charged with murder if an embryo or fetus dies.

“The question would be … [if] anybody [is] actually going to prosecute you for murder,” Hines says. “I would hope not but I think to leave it to a local prosecutor to decide who he‘s going to prosecute and which issue he’s going to prosecute on doesn’t make any sense.”

Mississippis Initiative 26 Could Define a Fetus as a Person, If Passed

Ad against Initiative 26.

NPR goes on to state that proponents of the initiative would expect their legislature to work out the details after it is passed. Nature News reports Jennifer Mason, communications director for Personhood USA, as stating that the initiative would not going to ban in-vitro fertilization or contraception but would just make it illegal to take a pill or conduct a procedure that would kill a person.

Whichever way the Mississippi vote goes, you can bet other states will be taking note. Nature News provides this infographic (below) showing that similar proposals to redefine personhood could make it onto ballots in other states as well.

    Just another example of the state trying to run people’s lives, take away our rights, and make decisions on health care when trained medical doctors say its a bad idea. Wait, I’m against all those things, right?

      BABY killing. It’s been a cult-favorite of many religions that reject the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. In ancient times, pagan prostitutes would burn their babies in fire to Molech, or kill them and burry their dead bodies in jars under the place of worship to their demon gods.

      Today LIBERALS have taken up the insatiable lust for baby-killing (since they, too, reject the God of the Bible). Only now, they cloak their passion in “Liberty” and “personal freedom” – which is basically a re-definition of those words to mean CONVENIENCE. Because that is what the vast majority of abortions come down to. The worship of SELF.

      By “our” rights, you’re including the rights of persons not born yet, right? Or do you stand with those who condone abortion up to, say 10 minutes before labor commences?

      Some folks should be looking around for mill stones in preparation for their swim in the sea. Jesus said that it would be better to hang a mill stone around your neck and cast yourself into the sea than to harm an innocent. I believe that’s the final word on this issue.

    The Representatives of the people need to come together for a vote on issues such as this and discuss the arguments for and against. The only way a state can make sure a law like this will stand and not be challenged is knowing that the U.S. Constitution has been Amended to support such a law, by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress and a three-fourths vote by all states.

    The only change I would make is I would hold that if the pregnancy is threatening the mother’s life, the fetus should be treated as an attempting to kill the mother and should either by removed (late term) or aborted (early term).

      What about if the woman told the doctor she had been raped just to get an abortion?

      So saying “I now will have to get a job to support a child” threatens someone’s life?

      Just making the statement of “threatens someone’s life” isn’t very complete.

      I believe if it is clinically proven the mother IS GOING TO DIE, then this is a different story. That is not how all abortions are looked at though.

      Do we kill Cancer patients or people in nursing homes because someone at some point will have to take care of them? Why not? Of course that is an extreme example, but so is saying “I can handle having a baby into my life right now. Kill it”.

      Now, in the case of rape? So you are saying, kill the baby that had no choice in this, but let the rapist live that had a choice? Good lord, talk about priorities that are backward.

      Now, all of this can be analyzed and 300 different situations can counter another, but that is what the vote is for. Many people looking at the situation in a lot of different ways.

      Example: Would I live in California? NO I know they have to many libs that vote stupidly. That is my opinion, so I wouldn’t live there. MY CHOICE.

      @Nlitend1 – You have OBVIOUSLY not done ANY research yourself… ASK women who have been raped and had the child and they almost UNANIMOUSLY say it is the ONLY good thing that came from the experience!! Those who abort almost UNANIMOUSLY feel both violated AND Guilty (for the murder of an innocent child)… there are LOTS of parents who WANT to take care of those babies… people who CANNOT have children… but instead people like you want to throw them in the trash can. And in doing so you injure yourself even more in addition to the injury to the unborn person.

      @Nlitend1 – points well taken. Nothing changes the very big REALITY – when is this a human life? In my opinion, rapists should be EXECUTED by civil authorities when proven guilty, but the result of that event does not justify taking an innocent human being’s life as well. No, I do not want to deal with a victim pregnancy in my wife or daughter as the result of this violent action, but its result still does not condemn the child – PERIOD, who did nothing wrong.

      In the event of the horrific quandary of having to chose between the life of the mother and the life of the child, that is actually a question of how the attending physician has to deal with that reality; those caregivers should not be handstrung by anything but the reality that they are dealing with human life in both cases and they indeed have to gravely weigh their responsibility with the utmost respect for their charges.

      In the end, this is moral avoidance, and we now have 60 million DEAD AMERICANS. 60 MILLION in 37 years. We have a HUGE problem, one so disheartening that, like slavery, many people will not look at its reality. Life itself is dishonored, and so the rest of us become subhuman as well. That is the issue, period. That is why Initiative 26 is so critical to each side; when we want to make an exception on who gets to live based on something, ANYTHING, beyond their very humanity, we have already lost of our own humanity. America is a mess, and this issue is the worst of all of the problems.

      So you are saying that every time a couple decides they want to be intamate with each other, they should be prepared to have a child? So all married couples should not sleep together unless they can support a child. Hmmm, if you are married, you must have a boring relationship. That being said, I in no way support abortion unless in the instance of r ape, inc est, or the life of the mother is in danger. And to OneofMany, your picture is of a male so I am assuming that you are. I too am male and I say how dare you say that a woman who is raped should be forced to carry a child they did not concensually concieve. If they decide that having the child is what they want to do then that is fine but please do not sit there and act as if you have any idea what being ra ped is like or what a woman must go through dealing with the consequences of it. On a final note, I can’t support the bill because ”
      goes on to state that proponents of the initiative would expect their legislature to work out the details after it is passed.” I was upset at the Dem‘s for doing this with healthcare and not the Repub’s are trying to do the same thing. Passing a bill to have the details defined only afterwards is insanity. I will never support a bill, no matter what it is, when it is created in this form.

      You make good points, and a much better argument than most people. At least you can address this issue by taking the difficulty of some situations into account. Personally, I am against abortion, but I do not like legal or legislated remedies. I don’t like the government taking away this choice. One solution would be to make fetuses viable at an earlier stage. If medical science could extract that fetus after a month and keep it alive, there would be no need for abortion. This type of advance would actually make abortion illegal as well, because Roe v. Wade only permits abortion of fetuses that are not viable. I would love to see as much effort going into science as there is going into politics.

How much more defenseless could a person be than to be murdered in the womb of their mother. It is evil and if you support it you are evil. If a woman does not want a baby, we know what causes it and we know how to prevent pregnancy. Once you become pregnant you made your decision.

    Even in China they are now trying a program whereby the government is going to mail a letter to a married couple in seven years which they filed with the government as Newlyweds in hopes to curb the divorce rate. As a result people will just keep a copy of it, and they will know what it says all along and therefore they will not wait for the letter, or there will just be a flood of divorces at the seven year anniversary. But certainly people will put less work into their marriage in their own heart instead choosing to rely on the power of the letter. Therefore the mountains of Chinese marriages will melt until they are small bumps and valleys.

      ‘Wrong argument, right of a woman to control her body is constitutionally protected. Its not a federal law but a constitutional right that this state law seeks to ban.’

    I’m all for Banning the Abortion issue all together. Cause one day those who choose to Abort a child, will at the end of their life Have to Stand before the Man and his Book of Life. And their before God answer his questions…………….

    Judge not, least you be judged.

    President Obama, Democrates, NPR, and PETA are willing to give animals “personhood”, but deny it to the unborn.

      They are also willing to give a smelt, a tiny fish, more importance over an entire population of people in California.

      There really can be no other conclusion – democrats, liberals, and progressive hate PEOPLE.

      And because most of them are not law abiding themselves, they feel perfectly comfortable standing behind people-killing proposals. They never intend to follow the laws that they create for the rest of us.

      Ever wonder how Al Gore could complain about global warming while flying his private jet and living in a mansion? He is just like every other liberal. They believe in THEIR right to life, but no one else’s.

      Not really. You just have a hard time accepting the rights and liberties of people that you have not heard screeching.

      If men were able to decide to terminate pregnancies of their children, against the wishes of “the uterus”, we would hear no end from feminazis about how their babies are being killed by brutal and uncaring men.

      Don’t be ridiculous. The crime is in killing an unborn child because you don’t want it.

      Laws… define Criminal Activity and required Punishment!
      @HIGHTIDE
      An… Unborn… Child… means that a Child only exists if it is Born!
      @SECESSIONISTA
      The Constitution defines the requirement of a President to be Born a Citizen. How would you amend this definition,,, where Birth defines a Person… and whence Rights begin?

      I‘m confused on how a Miscarriage is a woman’s choice?

      Who is the technical idiot here?

      Who is stumbling into an abortion with no help from any outside source? Think before you post.

      Yes “Pass the bill” that way they can also use your own sword against you to take control of pregnancy out of the hands of people. “But the fetus has the right to the pursuit of happiness as protected in the Constitution, and it can’t do that if it has Down Syndrome, or the parents are extremely poor or uneducated, and therefore for it’s protection it must be altered surgically or removed.” You people through reflex and idiocy are your own problem.

    They have a chance if outside influence is countered with logic, and the feds stay out of it.

      This has a chance of passing for 1 simple reason. It merges God creation and Alchemy. Cloning is man playing God.

      Cloning and genetic manipulation is creating the beast. Just ask Obama.

      Many of us here hope this passes.
      NPR is doing their part to help defeat the referendem by saying the measuure ‘could’ do this or that. I‘m sure NPR isn’t as objective with regards to what abortion ‘could’ or ‘has’ done to our culture and the value of life itself.
      I find it interesting that Colorado defeated a similar initiative. Not surprising, though. Many Coloradians are California transplants.

      —————————————————————————
      I believe 100% in the sanctity of life. Life in my mind begins during the act of intercourse, and to kill the conception caused by God is rebellion against Heaven and Gods rule. For that I I hope always for abortion to be stamped out for the scourge that it is.

      Genetic manipulation, and cloning is entirely a different story. That comes from the Alchemists trying to play God. Worse, they are trying to toss God from His throne by tinkering with DNA and manipulating telomeres to “give” people eternal life. In order to do this they have to change the language of the genes (change jots and tittles). Nothing good can come from trying to attain the Tree of Life by employing techniques from the Tree of Knowledge, of good and evil.

    God already defined it. A nation tried to redefine it to allow for mass murder of undesirable populations. NOW that nation is being punished by God. NUFF SAID.

      To bad God doesn’t write the laws in the US. The US is a secular nation, has been since the Constitution was written. Are laws are based on logic and written by men, some mythical sky father has no place in the law making process.
