You'll probably be happy to know that this is completely not a threat.
"Mississippi's personhood ballot measure, which gives full rights as a citizen to a fertilized egg is completely unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has held over and over in recent years as part of the stem cell debate that fertilized eggs are not people. Multicell blastocysts are not people. The state of Mississippi has no authority to alter this in any way, and the law will be held unconstitutional immediately."
This is a scare tactic to distract Democrats from other missions we should be focusing on and to increase Republican turn out at the 2012 election.
