Mississippi initiative to outwit Roe v Wade, banning abortion

This year, will include a voter Mississippi ballot initiatives (26) to amend the State Constitution:
Paragraph 33.  Person defined.  Used in this article III of the State Constitution, "the term" person "or" persons "include any human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning and functional equivalent thereof.

The operation would formally to the unborn Foetus list of civil rights-bearers, which makes abortion illegal in the u.s. State of Mississippi, United States. The consequences are far-reaching and controversial for the forthcoming proposal. Obamacare would not be able to fund abortion in this State, a highly contentious issue in and of itself. Research on embryonic stem cells would be stopped. Contraceptions that prevent egg can receive sperm would be as easily obtainable, as in vitrofertilization (IVF). Appoint abortion as "murder" is no longer limited to a moral stance, but instead will hold legal weight. A challenge to Roe v. Wade (1973), the initiative is expected to reach the Supreme Court if it passed.

According to the Roe v. Wade, abortion should not be permitted if an unborn foetus has proven to be a "person" who legally defined by the 14th amendment. The following dialog is an extract from a discussion of personhood, from the case:

Justice Potter Stewart: well, if it was established that an unborn fetus is a person under the protection of the fourteenth amendment, would you almost an impossible goal here, would you not?

MS Sarah Weddington: I would have very difficult cases. [Laughter]

Justice Potter Stewart: You really should because you have the same type of thing you would have to say that this would be a counterpart to when the child was born.

MS Sarah Weddington: it is true.

Justice Potter Stewart: On modern thought it bothered her health to your child around, she could have it killed. Isn't it correct?

MS Sarah Weddington: It is correct.

So why the Court supported the abortionists then? This additional excerpt shows a deliberate focus on the rights of the mother rather than the rights that were allowed to an unborn child:

Justice Harry a. Blackmun: well, I get from this then your case is mainly due to the perception that the foetus has no constitutional rights?

MS Sarah Weddington: it depends on to say that the woman has an originator of a constitutional right, and that the State has failed to demonstrate a compelling interest to regulation in the area.

This was only possible because none of Texas or the Federal Constitutional Act had defined "person." Personhood Mississippi, the organisation behind the initiative 26, hoping to one-up Roe v. Wade by becoming the first State to define unborn Fetuses as "persons."
