Nevada Personhood

The organization Personhood USA has a mission:

The Primary Mission of Personhood USA is to serve Jesus by being an Advocate for those who can not speak for themselves, the pre-born child. We serve by starting / coordinating efforts to establish legal “personhood” for pre-born children through peaceful activism, legislative efforts and ballot-access petition initiatives.

Excellent mission. I visited the Personhood USA website because I heard a news story that their state organization in Nevada had been denied the right to circulate a petition seeking a one-sentence amendment to the state constitution:

“In the great state of NV, the term ‘person’ applies to every human being.”

While I don’t doubt that Planned Parenthood and the ACLU have been strongly behind the efforts to stop the petition, I question the purpose of the amendment. Of course I understand the intention of the sentence, but it doesn’t really mean anything when the basic premise held by pro-aborts is that an unborn child is not a person and is only a “potential human being”. So, applying the word “person” to every human being will still leave the unborn unprotected by those who deny that the child is a neither person nor a human being.

This basically meaningless amendment is the kind of fuel that spurs liberals to crush us under their boots and dismiss us as completely irrelevant.

Yes, the unborn need protection and the right to life we all have, but let’s put out legislation that leaves no doubt and no loopholes for liberals.
