Mississippi Gov claims liberals exist to abortion children

Who is this blathering idiot?  Why its none other than the governor of Mississippi.   Such incendiary language.  I wonder what he would do with a class action lawsuit from “liberals” claiming defamation of character or slander? 

Governor Phil Bryant makes me ashamed to be a southerner.  Does anyone really sound like that? 

I wonder what nasty bill the underbelly of the south passed that the governor is referring to?

Ah ha!  According to Politico:

The governor was discussing a new state law requiring doctors who perform abortions at a clinic to be certified OB-GYNs with admitting privileges at a local hospital. He said opposition to the bill came from the political left.

The House Democratic leader says Bryant’s comments went “totally, totally too far,” especially because Mississippi voters rejected a personhood amendment declaring life begins at conception.

The owner of Mississippi’s sole abortion clinic plans legal action to block the law.

How can the new bill be legal?  Very often medical personnel are brought in, almost like riding the circuit for a miriad of reasons, especially in areas where there is a medical personnel shortage.  Unless Mississippi is planning on applying the same law to all medical doctors, I would say they might have a problem.

Mississippi–the land down under…way under

From the Huffington Post:

If Mississippians vote to pass an unprecedented initiative on Tuesday that would declare a fertilized egg a legal person under the state Constitution, nobody — including the authors of the initiative — knows exactly how that law would be interpreted and enforced. But legal and medical experts are concerned that the “personhood” amendment could spur a litany of expensive court battles, bogus lawsuits and moral and political conundrums beyond the scope of women’s choice.

If Proposition 26 passes, it would ban all abortion for any reason.  Additionally, it would probably ban all hormonal contraception like pills, rings loops, etc.  It could easily affect in vitro fertilization, as well as throw suspicion on spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) and ectopic pregnancy.  Rape, incest and fetal anomaly would have no bearing on easing restrictions. 

Obviously Proposition 26 would currently be unconstitutional and would end up in the court system.  It is unfathomable that Mississippi would proceed with such an absurd law, yet they are out voting on it today. 

The inception of Proposition 26 didn’t start in Mississippi.  The idea for it was apparently conceived by a group in Colorado.  Mississippi is a test run of sorts.  The state  was probably chosen because it ranks 49th in education and is one of, if not the poorest state in the union based on median household income.  The less people understand about biology and the difference in fertilization and conception, the easier it will be to pass an amendment this absurd in 2011.   Doing away with modern birth control is probably the worst way to end abortion.
