Personhood Mississippi Press Conference Tomorrow

Personhood Mississippi, an activist group opposed to reproductive freedom for women, is planning to hold a press conference tomorrow in Jackson to announce how many signatures they have gathered for the "personhood" amendment they want. Evidently, our Lieutenant Governor Phil Bryant has been working with them to roll back women's rights in Mississippi.

The amendment, if successful, would add the following to Mississippi's constitution:

Section 33. Person defined. As used in this Article III of the state constitution, "The term 'person' or 'persons' shall include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof." This initiative shall not require any additional revenue for implementation.

The press conference and subsequent "victory rally" are scheduled for 4:00pm tomorrow afternoon at 401 Mississippi Street in Jackson.
