Birth of Crazy

When does life begin? That's been a question we've all been asking since we were told about chicken and eggs. Now in Mississippi, it's being put up for a vote in the matter of determining 'personhood'.

The group supporting the amendment, Personhood USA believes that life begins when an egg is fertilized by sperm and would like all threats to said personhood to be eliminated.  No more IUDs, Plan B, abortions or terminations of pregnancies at all. They want to govern people's ability to procreate or not. The other kicker, with this amendment, they would also stop all fertility treatments such as IVF since eggs would not be allowed to be fertilized outside of the womb.

Yes, a woman's right to choose is being threatened in more than a way of over turning Roe v. Wade but bringing the government into the bedroom and beyond.  Per this situation, why  have birth certificates because that is not when a human needs to declare their existence, but a conception certificate would need to be issued.

Would government require a woman track her cycles, so that a declarative test could be taken on a specific date past ovulation, that the status of her womb could be tracked?

Would every single miscarriage need to be investigated as a potential criminal act? What happens if the mother is not able to carry to term, would that be declared murder because her body wasn't able to sustain a full pregnancy?  What about when a child is born prematurely, is that attempted murder?

And if a person leaves the state of Mississippi to legally obtain an abortion, would they never be able to step foot back into the state, since the woman would have committed a crime?

Of course, there is no burden on the male party, in the sexual congress, because men can't bear the child and they are merely a fertilization station.  Is the state of Mississippi's government willing to take on the effort to enforce child support? Increase their pool of education funding? Or the responsibility for increase in the poverty population, because that is going to be the hardest hit group if this amendment was to past.

The final kicker, a woman would not be able to terminate a pregnancy in Mississippi that is deemed life threatening because there is no provision for the mother's health.  She's merely an incubator for the person that has yet to be born or formed.

If you live in Mississippi, vote no on this amendment.
