Today Gov. Haley Barber gave his support to a State House resolution that would confer personhood and inherent citizenship on all fetuses from the moment of conception.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/04/us/mississippi-personhood-amendment/index.html?hpt=hp_c1
The measure has already passed on the floor of the House and will be voted on in the Senate at a date TBD. Given Gov. Barber's support, the measure is expect to pass and be signed into law. And then be swiftly shot down and loudly made an example of at the SCOTUS, wasting more time and resources on yet more bullshit from ass-backward hillbillies who are worth less as living humans than they would as fuel for low-efficiency furnaces.
Not only will the measure make any form of abortion illegal, even medically necessitated cases, it would also criminalize scientific research involving fertilized embryos and fetal stem cells, permanently banning most work done in the study of human cloning. As well, the measure would criminalize the use of morning-after pills.
Not shockingly, there is no correlated legislation on the dockets for increased funding to State welfare, women's shelters, or increased resources for low-income children and parents.

Do you pick up a birth certificate the day after you conceive?
Oh, and since it takes a while after conception before pregnancy tests can be effective, they've got a nice Schroedinger's Fetus going on there.
Will anyone be stupid enough to fight the inevitable District Court injunction putting this law on ice?
But yeah, giant waste of time and just religious dick wagging.

And I really doubt that's the case, so I just have to wonder why make the attempt?
This is not the best way to do that.
This happened before and what happened before, it got overturned on the Federal level and everyone else just refused to hear it.
Because they want to overturn Roe v. Wade and hope this will be the thing that does it.
It won't.
Though I guess that's not limited to a woman's uterus.
Government small enough to inspect every womans cooter, well all the none christian family values ones anyway. Remember the only valid conservabortion is the one they choose for themselves. Like every other conservative position do as I say not as I do.

The only things government can do right are execute people, and make everybody my brand of Christian.
We'd probably get a constitutional amendment telling them to fuck right the hell off then and we could be done with this.
No.
They would have to prosecute every miscarriage as involuntary manslaughter.
Actually, they would have to investigate to make sure that the woman didn't do anything that might have increased the chances of a miscarriage, as that would bump it up to regular ol' manslaughter.

The other dumb thing about this is that SCOTUS will see it as a challenge to Federal Primacy, and will most likely make a ruling based on that without even looking at the Roe vs. Wade.
Anchor pregnancies! You can't deport me, my zygote is a US citizen!
Man Mississippi stay classy. Typically in cases where the child is a citizen they still deport him/her until they are legally an adult at which point they're free to come over and be destitute because of shit living conditions and schooling.
"If you wish to have sex in the great state of Mississippi, please fill out these forms in triplicate in advance to assist with legal obligations in the event that sex results in pregnancy"
"Congratulations! Your conception is pre-approved!"
I thought they deported the parents and the parents generally chose to take the child with them.
In this case what if the mother says, sure deport me but not the child. Not like they can be separated.
Also would not giving paid maternal leave be reckless disregard for human life?
There's every chance that when the SCOTUS shoots this down, the language will strengthen Roe v. Wade.
I'm starting active duty there and will be terrified to leave the base.
Aw shit son. Gulfport? Keesler? Meridian?
They're all awful.
Keesler for six months of Tech School for Cyber, to prevent China from stealing all our Internets. My friends report having a good time drinking and gambling between school though. I'm not a drinker and all my math and analysis skills are no match for me being a really shitty gambler. (And yes the movie 21 sucks and not even Amon Tobin being in the soundtrack could save it.)
I think I'll be too focused on paying off my 51k college debt. Also, the top 15% get flight suits and go into the high tech field. I WANT.
The potential ramifications for successful passage and enforcement of this legislation are so broad and insidious, Gov. Barber's "cautious support" might as well be an endorsement of political anarchy and maelstrom.
He might as well cautiously support the opening Pandora's Box.
You know, I don't actually have an issue with Ohio's 6 weeks. That sounds about right.
If it takes you a month and a half to decide if you're gonna have an abortion, then tough shit. You're having the kid.
You realize that it's possible to have normal menstruation during a pregnancy, right? Or that pregnancy tests can give false negatives?
Of course you don't realize that. It would take a goose of the highest magnitude to know those things and still say something like that.
That never happens.
Or that ectopic pregnancies are viable fertilized embryos located in an nonviable part of a woman's anatomy.
Or that abortions are kind of expensive and typically require full payment up front, meaning lower-income women have to save longer to afford one.
Right. It's just a fucking timebomb.
"Sorry, ma'am, but the State of Mississippi has collectively decided that science is dumb and the Lord has chosen you and your fertilized embryo to die a horrible, painful, needless, protracted death."
And all the other exceptions as well. 6 weeks into a pregnancy isn't enough time for Jack F. Shit.
The flipside to that of course being that now Mississippi will have a concentration of complete fucking idiots approaching nearly 100%, along with the accompanying political ramifications associated with such an arrangement of the utterly broken and ignorant.
Do you think abortions are done like one stop tire changes? Medical procedures can take time to set up, sorry we don't have appointments open in the next couple of weeks, guess you better start buying baby formula.
The bad part is that its existence is basically win-win for the blockheads who support the legislation. There's the infinitesimally small chance of its success, and there's also the protracted media exposure it will garner if/when it fails. It's just like fighting the Islamic fundamentalist terror groups in the way that the mere struggle is considered a victory for the organization; there is literally no situation they will consider a loss. Even if it goes to the SCOTUS and Scalia and Roberts themselves handwrite the State of Mississippi a strongly-worded rebuke that condemns the waste of time, resources, and national priority the case has cost, the Evanglical Mafia will consider the bare mention of abortion in the halls of the SCOTUS just the next step in the Assured Victory™.
