Dispatches from the War on Sex: Mississippi's 'personhood' initiative

Hosted by Abe Proctor and Joe Uris

Voters in Mississippi will decide tomorrow on a 'personhood' initiative which, if passed, would confer legal personhood upon a fertilized ovum. This would of course render abortion illegal, and any other act that interfered with said ovum's development -- like, say, a miscarriage, or the use of certain kinds of birth control -- could be considered negligent homicide or even murder.

Thus do the War on Sex, and the War to Put Women Back In Their Place, continue. Abe and Joe examine the situation and take your phone calls.
