Mississippi’s recent personhood amendment, which was poised to be the first in the nation to pass, failed. Why? In part, because many pro-life advocates were duped into believing that a constitutional amendment declaring the humanity of the pre-born would somehow make millions of tiny, innocent children more vulnerable to being killed by abortion.

Planned Parenthood’s social engineering machine was cranked full throttle to defeat the amendment, spewing lies and sowing doubt among the populace that were, in the end, extremely efficacious.

The abortion giant enlisted the aid of all of its allies in defeating the amendment, with rabidly radical feminist publications like Jezebel and the ever-immoral but more socially acceptable Cosmopolitan chiming in against constitutional protection for the preborn.

Jezebel featured pictures of women in pink “I Stand with Planned Parenthood” T-shirts holding “Stop the War on Women” signs, and labeled the amendment “The Most Ill Thought Out Piece of Terrible Legislation of All Time, 2011 Entrant,” in its graphically disgusting article. It boggles the mind how attempts to stop the wholesale slaughter of millions of innocent babies could be labeled by so-called “feminists” as a “war on women.” These radicals are the true architects of the war on women.

Cosmopolitan helped PP President, Cecile Richards, grow her Pinocchio nose, saying that the amendment could even prevent pregnant women from getting some types of cancer treatments and added, “[It] is such an extreme government intrusion into the private lives of women and families.” Cosmo encouraged Mississippians to vote against the amendment and to use social media to spread the word.

Mississippians for Healthy Families, the up-front opposition against the amendment, whose creation was spearheaded by Planned Parenthood Southeast, and its coalitions/organizations opposing the amendment, ran a plethora of ads designed to plant confusion in the hearts and minds of voters, making such outrageous claims as, if the amendment passed, a woman with an ectopic pregnancy would not be allowed to receive life-saving medical attention. One of the ads featured a nurse saying, “You can be pro-life and still vote no.” Imagine, Planned Parenthood and its cohorts proclaiming, undercover of course, that you can be pro-life and vote against constitutional protection for the lives of the pre-born!

In the wake of the amendment’s defeat, Planned Parenthood placed a celebratory statement on its website. “The defeat of the so-called ‘personhood’ amendment in Mississippi is a major victory for women’s health.”

The abortion giant sums up its smear campaign against the amendment by saying, “Mississippi voters rejected the so-called ‘personhood’ amendment because they understood it is government gone too far, and would have allowed government to have control over personal decisions that should be left up to a woman, her family, her doctor and her faith, including keeping a woman with a life-threatening pregnancy from getting the care she needs and criminalizing everything from abortion to common forms of birth control such as the pill and the IUD.

“We congratulate the Mississippians for Healthy Families Coalition, which ran an amazing campaign to educate voters about the dangerous impact of the amendment,” the PP statement continues.

Planned Parenthood’s full-tilt assault against this amendment and other state human rights initiatives demonstrates how threatened it is by the possibility of a constitutional declaration of the word “person.”

The abortion giant has its tentacles on the pulse of the legislative and judicial processes, from the grassroots level all the way to the Supreme Court. If recognizing the human rights of preborn children did not pose a real threat to its business, it would not expend the amount of energy and funds it does in fighting these amendments. If pursuing these human rights would somehow bolster Roe v. Wade and hurt chances of overturning it, do you not think Planned Parenthood would assist in its passage? At the very least it would turn its grotesque head and allow the truth to prevail and the amendment to pass, without pulling out all the stops to sow confusion and to defeat the amendments.

Wake up, America. The time to stop the killing is now. It is never the wrong time to do the right thing. Legal abortion hinges on the lack of the recognition of civil rights for the preborn, and that fact was articulated in the Roe v. Wade decision. It was the Roe author, Justice Blackmun, who concluded: "(If the) suggestion of personhood [of the preborn] is established, the [abortion rights] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment."

Thus, the personhood of the preborn child is the single point on which the entire debate turns.

Does that threaten Planned Parenthood? Its actions and words in fighting the Mississippi personhood amendment broadcast its answer loud and clear! We must fight for the human and civil rights of preborn children, now!
