Personhood Amendment Advocates: Abortion Is Like Slavery | A website touting Mississippi’s Personhood amendment — which will ask voters to define “persons” as human beings at any stage of development, including fertilization” and would outlaw abortion and even some forms of contraception — claims that the “Personhood” movement is akin to the effort to abolish slavery: “When a court makes a horribly unjust, immoral, and unconstitutional ruling , it should not be allowed to stand in perpetuity – if so, we would still be treating some African Americans as property because of Dred Scott,” it says.
