The proposed amendment to the constitution of the state of Mississippi seeks to covet every fertilized embryo, whether in vitro or in vivo and make it a ward of the state. That is not a democracy. Citizens no longer have control over the outcomes of their reproductive function and places the state at a higher priority than its citizens.
Absolutely no more coveting faux issues in political elections in the USA should be tolerated.. If coveting a topic that is unconstitutional comes up in an election strategy it is fraud and has to be considered criminal in its intent. The Burger Court was most correct in its approach to constitutional law. The laws of the federal, state or local govenrment are to serve 'the individual citizen' and not 'the state.' This is a representative democracy and not a representiative dictatorship. The Burger Court also fostered 'tolerance of diversity' in that individuals can be different than the religious majority in the country and be guaranteed all the rights as anyone else in carryout their life.
The right to bear children or not is inalienable to women. It is the responsiblilty of the government to be sure all measures are availaible to uphold the rights of the individual as well as insuring a citizen is safe from malpractice and/or negligence.
This attempt to remove children from parents to ensure every embryo becomes a pregnancy and then born is an outrage. Because that is what will happen when embryos are no longer wanted to reach personhood at the time of birth. It will become a crime to use embryos of any kind for research including genetic research and the state will OWN LIFE and define it. It is not based in democracy! It is based in fanatical religious dogma!
