OK4RJ editor, writer, law student, and all-around badass Mallory breaks down why Personhood Amendments like the one that’s being voted on in Mississippi tomorrow affects all pregnant people’s rights, not just ones that seek abortions:
”Granting personhood from conception would limit a pregnant person’s right to liberty, right to medical decision making, right to privacy, right to bodily integrity, and even right to life. This is not just a slippery slope, dystopian future theory that would never happen. The past experiences of pregnant people show us that states are already using the same rationale behind personhood legislation, protecting a state interest in fetal life, to harm people, carrying their pregnancies to term.”
