The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled in a case brought by the ACLU and Planned Parenthood that paves the way for Mississippi to become the second state, following failed votes in 2008 and 2010 in Colorado, to consider the personhood amendment. The amendment would define unborn children as persons under the law starting at the point of conception and would, if upheld, essentially prohibit abortions in the state. The states high court tackled a decision Circuit Court Judge Malcolm Harrison issued saying Measure No. 26, the personhood amendment can be placed before voters and the constitution recognizes the right of citizens to amend their constitution. His decision came in a case under which opponents of the amendment say the amendment cant be used to change the Bill of Rights, which bringers of the lawsuit said it would do.
Justice Randy J. Pierce issued the majority opinion in which he wrote: Nothing in our Constitution as it exists today gives this Court the authority to review the validity of a proposal prior to its enactment, which is exactly what Plaintiffs request this Court to do. This Court is without power to interfere with pre-election proposals, because to do so may place the administration of government at the footstool of the judiciary. That has the court saying they would not issue a ruling on whether the amendment could be used to change the states Bill of Rights until after the vote on the amendment. As Paul Linton, a pro-life attorney who has worked with a number of national pro-life organizations, tells LifeNews.com, that means Mississippi voters could spend significant time and money pursuing the amendment only to see it later shot down in court for unconstitutionally attempting to change the Bill of Rights.
I thought it was curious, to say the least, that the majority opinion refused to decide whether the personhood initiative is an appropriate use of the initiative process under the Mississippi Constitution, given the prohibition in the state constitution against using the initiative to add, modify or repeal any portion of the Bill of Rights, he said. The two dissenting judges would have struck the measure from the ballot as an improper addition or modification to the Bill of Rights. In part because two judges have already indicated they will strike down the personhood amendment after the vote under a post-vote lawsuit, Linton believes it wont be upheld even if passed.

I can not beileve teen age girls still get pregnant in the numbers they do. Birth control is laying around on almost every street coner in the US. We should be teaching young men and women about responsibilty for their own actions not making it easier for them to get abortions.

Why do women abort their babies?
I understand there may be an ample number of reasons, but what, in your opinion would be the concensus?
I think it's purely for selfish reasons for the most part.

Is that your business? No.
None of it is your business, that is what you moronic MEN do not get. Why someone does it, will never be your business, and your really should judge something you know nothing about and that is none of your business.
And the fact you just asked me that, proves what a douche bag you are.

I don't blame ya, I wouldn't admit it either.
Without "moronic" men, you moronic women wouldn't have to kill your unborn babies.
Must make you feel pretty good to play God.
The decision to continue your pregnancy or to end it is very personal.
Each year, nearly 1.2 million American women have an abortion to end a pregnancy.
The most common reasons women consider abortion are:
* Birth control (contraceptive) failure. Over half of all women who have an abortion used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant.
* Inability to support or care for a child.
* To end an unwanted pregnancy.
* To prevent the birth of a child with birth defects or severe medical problems. Such defects are often unknown until routine second-trimester tests are done.
* Pregnancy resulting from rape or incest.
* Physical or mental conditions that endanger the woman's health if the pregnancy is continued.
In the United States, 9 out of 10 abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks (first trimester) of pregnancy. Most of these are done within the first 9 weeks of pregnancy.
Very few abortions are done after 16 weeks of pregnancy. But some women have to delay abortions because they have trouble with paying for, finding, or traveling to an abortion specialist.
