The Facts About Initiative 26

I’m asking everyone to consider reblogging this, just to get the facts out there.

Initiative 26 is an outrageous Amendment that is being pushed in my home state of Mississippi that will redefine the meaning of “personhood.”  This so-called “Personhood Amendment” will change the legal definiton of the word “person in Article 111 of the state constitution to include “every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.” 

Not only will this amendment criminalize abortion, but it could bring about radical and disastrous results, some of which may include the banning of certain birth control (including the morning-after pill), presenting problems for couples who wish to have in-vitro fertilization, as well eradicate abortion options for victims of rape and incest.

So please, I ask you to consider reblogging this in order to spread facts regarding Initiative 26 and opposition to it.  Even if you aren’t a Mississippian, please help spread support.

This isn’t about pro-choice and pro-life—it’s about pro-women.  So please, stand up next to your fellow sister, get the straight facts, and protect yourself by spreading the word and voting “no” on Initiative 26.
