Mississippi residents are set to vote next week on Initiative 26, the personhood amendment to the state’s Constitution.
The amendment would define the word ‘person’ as starting at ”the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.”
Activists on both sides of the abortion debate agree that a vote yes by Mississippi’s residents would have profound consequences for the state’s women and the fetuses they carry.
On Faith asked our expert roundtable to weigh in on the personhood initiative and its potential consequences on abortion and birth control in the United States.
Make your view heard by voting in the poll below. How would you vote on Mississippi’s initiative?
