The Pro-Life
Movement’s top goal since the early 1970s has been to get Congress to pass a
Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution knowing the effect would easily
overturn Roe v. Wade and abortion throughout America. In over 30 years Congress
has never allowed it to come to a vote.
A constitutional amendment is stronger than any law and is a primary and
permanent protection of the people's rights.
The only way to end abortion is through a constitutional amendment that
recognizes unborn children as ‘persons’ legally. Laws that ban abortion won’t
work. Only a precisely worded state human life amendment, like People’s
Initiative 23, has all of the critical legal elements to overturn Roe v. Wade
and abortion throughout America, not just Mississippi.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
By April 2008 we need to raise 110,000 petition signatures
of registered voters in Mississippi. This petition calls for a state-wide
vote on Initiative 23 and lets the people decide if it should be a part of our
constitution.
"[If the]
suggestion of personhood [for the unborn] is established, the [abortion
rights] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then
guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment."
