Mississippi will vote on a "personhood amendment" to their state constitution today, an amendment that would make all fertilized eggs to be "persons" under the law, with the same legal rights as all other persons—except, of course, full-grown-woman persons, who would be legally required to provide free room and board to fetus persons against their full-grown-woman-person wills. Mississippi's amendment would criminalize certain forms of birth control and transform a miscarriage into a potential felony. Says Atrios:

I do my best to not wish harm on people, but I hope it's the supporters of the Mississippi "personhood" amendment who find themselves navigating a legal nightmare when it's their or their spouse's ectopic pregnancy, or when Officer Friendly declares their bathroom a crime scene due to a miscarriage.

Sullivan links to a rare bit of antisexrightwingbullshitcalling at National Review:

As Reason’s Ronald Bailey has pointed out, 60 to 80 percent of human embryos—post-conception, with distinct DNA—are naturally destroyed by the woman’s body. Are we to see this as a large-scale massacre of human beings, develop drugs to prevent it from happening, and require all women who have unprotected sex to take them? Certainly, we would be willing to take measures like this if post-birth infants were dying in comparable numbers.

Social conservatives: committed to shrinking the size of government... until it's small enough to fit in your vagina.
