Just wondering...

...how is Mississippi going to afford to enforce this amendment? I mean, Topeka, Kansas just voted to stop prosecuting domestic violence cases 'cause there isn't enough money in the budget and something had to get cut. Last I looked, Kansas was right there at 28 or 29 in state wealth and Mississippi? Was dead last.

I would love to think this is just an election year thing, but this year isn't a big election year and this amendment (or variations of it) has been floating around for awhile. Colorado has voted it down TWICE already (2008 and 2010). Truthfully, it's just another attempt by those who know they know better than you to control all us poor women, who just ought to be made to pay for getting pregnant in the first place.

I would be more impressed by people who are "pro-life" if they were also committed to social services... Instead of dismissing them as examples of 'oversized government'. :P

I've run across one group of pro-life people whom I can respect: it's a bunch of nuns in Nashville, TN. Yes, they protest against abortion. But they also show up and protest every time the state schedules an execution, and at most anti-war rallies. Because, you know, being "pro-life" to them means that it's wrong to take ANY life arbitrarily. It's nice to see an example of that sort of moral consistency, even if I disagree with their positions.

Hey, I'm consistent too. I've heard my stance described as the "kill-'em-all" stance.
