From Ohio Personhood, we see the recent Mississippi Personhood effort cost the coffers of Planned Parenthood blood-money barons plenty. As more and more states implement Personhood campaigns, the abortion mill profits shrink accordingly across America. It may be that by making their bottom line low enough, the unsatisfied greed of abortion doctors will drive them out of their slime pit at the bottom of the medical barrel and on to specialties where they earn more by NOT killing kids. With Personhood pressure already inducing Planned Parenthood to make visible cut backs, that’s more cuts to their staff and fewer cuts to the babies. Good. Here are the numbers for what PP recently had to spend in Mississippi:

Personhood Adversary Unveiled

The Mississippi Secretary of State website includes the financial data of “Mississippians for Healthy families” which has been the chief opponent of the Mississippi Personhood Amendment.

The donations received up until October 31 include:

$209,000 from Planned Parenthood Action Fund – New York
$524,000 from Planned Parenthood Federation of America – New York
$34,000 from Planned Parenthood Southeast – Atlanta
$28,000 from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin – Milwaukee
$5000 from Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina
$5000 from Planned Parenthood of Hudson, New York
$50,000 from Planned Parenthood of San Jose, California
$10,000 from Planned Parenthood of Illinois – Chicago
$5000 from Planned Parenthood of Middle & Eastern Tennessee – Nashville
$10,000 from Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts – Boston
$ 3100 from Planned Parenthood Chapters in Ohio, Michigan, and Minnesota
$21,000 from Planned Parenthood in Shasta, California
$17,000 from Planned Parenthood of St Louis
$7000 from Planned Parenthood of Seattle
$4300 from Planned Parenthood Chapters in Florida
$5000 from Planned Parenthood of Utah
$5000 from Planned Parenthood of San Diego, California
$86,000 from Planned Parenthood chapters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, North & South Dakota, Oregon, Washington State, and California
$20,000 from the American Civil Liberties Union – New York
$10,000 from the Mississippi ACLU
In addition, they received over 80 small contributions from individuals from out of state; however, only six from individuals in Mississippi.

It appears that Mississippians for Healthy Families IS Planned Parenthood.

I wonder who “Healthy Families Ohio”, an opponent of the Ohio Personhood Amendment, is?

Abortion doesn’t need to be regulated, it needs to be banned. In California, pot dealers are trying to get regulated and taxed, to gain legitimacy. Regulation proffers undeserved legitimacy on abortionists. Murderers (other than abortionists) don’t get regulated, they get incarcerated. Parental consent laws (as well as other incrementalist laws) play into the hands of pro-aborts by saying that abortion is OK unless the mother is a minor whose parents aren’t notified. Regulation is approval of legalized abortion, with narrow exceptions.

The issue is personhood, not choice. Everyone knows some choices are wrong, and taking the life of an innocent person is wrong. If pre-born children are people, then they must not be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Due process of law requires an individual to be tried in criminal court and convicted of a capital crime before being given the death penalty. No one recognized as a person gets the death penalty for being declared “unwanted” by another person. The issue is personhood.

It is a sad day in America when we can not agree that the
best time to end the merciless killing of innocent preborn babies
is immediately. The men leading this country possess not the
character of the men who found it. I truly wonder what their
debates, if held today, would consist of? We have several problems.
First, as a nation we had become comfortable back in the 50′s and
60′s. The economy had been positive and robust and climbing for
several years, resulting in a deeply seeded complacentcy. The
church (the people of the church) became complacent as well. this
is how we allowed solialist teachers and instructors to infiltrate
95% of our colleges and universities resulting in the reshaping and
reprogramming of the minds of our enrolled youth. In many cases,
stripping them of their religous upbringing and replacing it with
pure humanism. Secondly, we as church, have lost the moral
arguments in the election process by allowing moderates and
liberals dictate what is “politically correct and tollerant” by
sitting back comfortably and doing nothing. 1960′s Madelyn Murry
O’hair has God removed from our classrooms and public places. This
is where the line that separated right from wrong was erased. Where
was the church? This, in turn, paved the way for the socially
acceptable yet wicked laws that would follow through our courts
until the moral character of our great constitution has been
depleted. Next in the 1970′s came Roe vs. Wade, the repealing of
sodomy laws, gay marraiges. What is next? Where are we going to
stop the madness? I say we need good men to do everything God has
given them the strength to do and educate everyone on all the
scientific fact surrounding abortion. Then we will
prevail.

Both camps in this debate are strongly in favor of
protecting the sanctity of all human life. We are, as Pope John
Paul II said, “doing the greatest work on earth”. John Paul II also
reassured us many times to “be not afraid”. To stand in opposition
to Personhood because of a fear that it may fail, may be good
strategy in a secular battle, however, this is a battle of immense
spiritual proportion. As such we are called by God to do all we can
to protect all human life from the moment of conception. It is only
Personhood and Personhood alone that will allow us to eventually,
with the help of God’s grace, to reach that goal.

I would like to add something to my comment.
Because educating the population is a long time thing someone might ask: What to do until we have the required majority to pass an amendment, let the children be killed?
I think that until then the most realistic solution is to save one life at a time how do some pregnancy centers (like Care Net) which offer counseling and alternative solutions for those headed to abortions. I also think that the drop in the number of abortions is due more to their work and less to political action.

In my rush to write before leaving for work, made a logical error. The genetic testing in the petri dish is the achilles heel. Not in the womb. Petri dishes aren’t covered under Roe. Wombs are.

CORRECTION: Eighty percent, not eight percent of children diagnosed with abnormalities in the womb are aborted. Eight percent of Down’s Syndrome etc.

How about the Attorney General of Virginia bringing a lawsuit to block IVF on the basis of the personhood of the embryos being “created” and culled (PGN)in petri dishes and put into frozen orphanages? Or how about the genetic tests that are now being done very early on pregnant women’s blood to detect cystic fibrosis. Eight percent of those women abort if the tests show a strong possibility of their child carrying the disease. That’s eugenics! The court that just blocked Obamacare in Virginia might be friendly! Personhood can be fought for at many different levels. Lawyers, get creative! Go around Roe – talk about the humanity of children in petri dishes outside the womb! Find friendly lower courts and go for it!
