Mississippi voters reject anti-abortion initiative – CNN.com.

The Personhood Amendment (26) in Mississippi was voted down on Tuesday.

This amendment defined the beginning of life according to what is understood in biology for over 150 years.   Opponents feared that it could have led to laws and regulations to ban hormonal birth control and fertility treatments, since these things often operate with a mechanism to stop embryonic human life. The amendment itself contained no specific language involving bans or restrictions. The CNN article referenced above is incorrect in this regard, as it re-used scare tactics used by abortion supporters to oppose the amendment.

The admission of the ethical problems associated with birth control and certain fertility treatments comes late from promoters, many of whom formerly denied, concealed or obfuscated  the possible effects of embryonic or fetal demise.
