Sticking their noses in Mississippi's business with the Initative 26 Ammendment.

Full story here http://www.cnn.com/2...hood-amendment/

How many of the whiners and complainers on this board (regarding; "you ain't from around here") are going to get your panties in a snit over Colorado sticking its nose in your business?

Have no fear folks, your illustrious Governor voted for the damn bill "despite struggling with its implications".

What a dumba$$.

If this were an anti-abortion bill, things would be different. But this is a wreck of words on a page. It is an open can of worms, waiting to slither out and create slippery slopes everywhere.

- Our little illegal alien friend decides to get knocked up. SO when is this child considered an American citizen? At birth? Absolutely...until after tomorrow's vote. Then the little embryo person becomes an American at conception. Expect an influx of more owrkers to this sate after that gets out.

- Our little pregnant friend on welfare gets a check every month per child. When a child is born, they are added to the family and the check gets bigger. Until tomorrow's vote. Then the Embryo is a person, which means a bigger welfare check for a child not even born yet.

- Miscarriages will most likely be investigated as murders now.

- Just remember that other states shot this down, including Colorado where it started. This bill was brought here because we are under-educated. They believed that Mississippians are too stupid to READ the content and distinguish the difference between abortion and personhood.

I bet it passes...

As pro life as I am, I just cannot vote for this bill.

I think that there is much more to this bill than what meets the eye. I was criticized and sent to the i26 website to read it. So I did. But my answer to them was this was what it is all about, why just those few words on the bill? There should have been much more inserted into the bill than these few words.

I think Psychotik is correct in that someone brought this bill to Mississippi thinking that we being the most undereducated state and in the Bible Belt would just hop to it and vote it in.

The fact that they use the word, cloning, tells me that cloning is going to play a bigger part of the bill than prohibiting abortion on a fertilized egg because people will travel out of state to get their abortion if they want one. This state will protect a clone if experiments are being done and this bill is passed.

Well psy, evidently that is true in your Governors case. He voted for it, as ambigious as it is.

Very thoughtful insight on the rest of your post.

I'm curious as to where all them folks are who think outsiders oughta butt out? ;p Oh wait, they are probably pro-lifers who think they have some business in my uterus/womb.

It is a very ambiguous, dangerous bill.

Psy,

I thought about something else while watching the National News this evening. There was a black woman from Mississippi on the news (pro-lifer) arguing for the bill, who stated this would prevent women who are victims of rape from aborting the product of the rape because "it's not the babys fault". OMG! I'm not believing the ignorance. That's just freakin scary! These folks have no business making health care decisions for themselves, let alone anyone else.


Then I got to thinking that not every fertilized egg becomes a viable fetus capable of sustaining life outside the womb. If this bill passed it would also become the taxpayers burden to keep these birth defects on life support indefinitely. What a burden this places on all taxpayers pro life or not.

Every Biblethumper for miles turned out at the polls today. We stood in line over an hour. The man behind us had never voted before and could not read. He needed lots of assistance. Folks stood at the machines for a long time because they had never used one before. Many of them were so loud about letting others know it was their first time. I am glad folks came out to vote, but our polling station was not prepared for the masses, but it is doubtful that many will vote again until a moral issue hits the ballot again.

Even Haley voiced that this bill was ambiguous, but then turned right around and voted for it.

Oh well, word just got out that Mississippians voted it down.

That's awesome news for Ms.

With 85 percent of the precincts reporting, 58 percent of voters had voted against the measure and 42 percent had voted for it, according to the Clarion-Ledger newspaper in Jackson, Mississippi, the state capital.

Gov. Boss Hogg operates in this mode:

I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain

(Dorothy)
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain

(Scarecrow)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain


All skate!
