In the lovely state of Mississippi here in the US, an amendment is being voted on to decide women's rights in pre-born baby handling. What does this mean?

- Birth control disallowed
- Invitro would be almost impossible due to the fact that you wouldn't be able to dispose of bad fertilization.
- You can be charged for miscarrying or having a still born.
So do ya'll think this is crazy that some religious extremists are hell bent on doing away with Abortion even to the smallest craziest level?
This is a for real ammendment folks, if this passes.. welcome to hell Ladies of Mississippi. If this passes, let's step back in the past with ignorance.. instead of going forward with freedom

- This will essentially take away any form of abortion. As soon as you conceive, you wouldn't be able to get a morning after pill.Mississippi voters are casting ballots Tuesday on an amendment to the state constitution that would define life as beginning at the moment of conception.
Initiative 26 would define person hood as "every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof." Though the text of the amendment is simple, the implications if it passes couldn't be more complex. If approved by voters, it would make it impossible to get an abortion in the state and hamper the ability to get some forms of birth control.
Because the amendment would define a fertilized egg as a person with full legal rights, it could have an impact on a woman's ability to get the morning-after pill or birth control pills that destroy fertilized eggs.
It could make in vitro fertilization treatments more difficult because it could become illegal to dispose of unused fertilized eggs. This could lead to a nationwide debate about women's rights and abortion while setting up a possible challenge to the landmark Roe v. Wade case, which makes abortion legal.
