Say NO To Fetus Personhood Legislation!
The right to liberty includes choice and free will. I ask you to stand in opposition to fetus personhood legislation by encouraging your state to protect women’s health. Currently, there are proposed ballot measures or referendums in 15 states: Colorado, North Dakota, Mississippi, Ohio, Montana, California, Kansas, Virginia, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Alabama, Georgia, Nevada, Arkansas, and Florida.
If we allow states to pass laws like this, we would dismantle female reproductive rights setting woman back hundreds of years. Fetus personhood laws would make abortion a criminal offense, effectively cancelling out Roe v. Wade, outlawing abortion. They will truly leave woman relying on unconventional birth control methods such as: aspirin between the knees; black cat bone around the neck; harmful vaginal suppositories such as crocodile fecal matter and citric acid; and (or) spitting into a frogs mouth to name a few. When those methods do not work, woman will be forced to use a coat hanger!
Do we really want to go back to the dark ages? Fetus personhood legislation is a threat to women and physicians like Dr. Howard Jones, co-founder of the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School understand. Dr. Jones told The Virginian Pilot:
"[A fetus] personhood bill would write into state law the proposition that life begins at conception. [It confers on] the unborn child at every stage of development all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents…The [legislation] is widely seen as an anti-abortion measure, but it has broader implications. [In cases of ectopic pregnancy], it would make the surgeon a little nervous about what the implications would be if he removed a living person. Yet if he doesn't, he's exposing the mother to great risk. [Fetus personhood] legislation is a naive expression based on a failure to understand the biology involved."
According to Planned Parenthood, 88% of American voters agree that women should have reproductive rights. Ask yourself - Should government be allowed to craft legislation that oppresses women? Do you really see your mother, sister, daughter and (or) wife as second-class citizens only good for being barefoot and pregnant? I don’t!
We must stop this MADDNESS!!!! Encourage your state not to take away a women’s right to quality health and healthy living.
Why is this important?
The right to liberty includes choice and free will. As a concerned American citizen, will you urge your local, state, and federal leaders not to support fetus personhood legislation? Currently, there are proposed ballot measures or referendums in 15 states: Colorado, North Dakota, Mississippi, Ohio, Montana, California, Kansas, Virginia, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Alabama, Georgia, Nevada, Arkansas, and Florida.
If approved, they will dismantle female reproductive rights setting woman back hundreds of years. Fetus personhood laws would make abortion a criminal offense, effectively cancelling out Roe v.
