Personhood up for vote tomorrow

In search of jobs, residents of the Great State of Mississippi will go to the polls tomorrow and vote on … personhood! Unfortunately, the writers of the amendment decided to unilaterally redefine the medical definition of conception in a way which will turn thousands of women, doctors, nurses, and pharmacists into child killers. But maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong — by we I mean me and by all wrong I mean trying to argue science and reason with knuckle-dragging Bible thumpers who think Genesis is a science text.

At least according to classhole Bryan Fischer: [Read more…]
