The other day I received this email from a friend asking me what I thought about the Mississippi Personhood measure that was on the Ballot. I reply I didn't know enough about it to make a honest evaluation concerning it. He stated:
"If you were to vote on that ballot issue how would you vote? Yes, a fertilized egg is a person or No, a fertilized egg is not a person. That makes it simple. Either YES or NO. It's your duty as a citizen to vote."
His last sentence intrigue me in many aspects, not about the measure, and certainly not for the issue itself. In many ways, I have no interesting in debating the issue of abortion, but I do find it interesting that he wanted me to debate him over it. I was mainly interested in approach to have me enlist a opinion on rather mundane issue of whether a person is person at conception.
The whole issue of issue of pro abortionist is the concept that states do not have a right to lament over whether a person is a person and that was left to the authority of the Federal government to set a moral prerogative over it's people. The very concept is more s personal issue than a federal one. Personal issues such as divorce, speeding tickets and health should be a issue handle by the state and it citizens, and certainly not by the Federal government.
Since the people of Mississippi voted down the issue for variety of reasons, than it certainly proves that pro abortionist are wrong, and that the people can make a decision on life and death issues. Proving them wrong that Abortion is not to big to issue to be left in the hands of its citizens.
There is certainly no reason abortion, or any other local moral issue cannot be left to the states. Society has grown enough to handle them and way the concerns of it's people, in comparison to the constitution issues. Society may have grown up as shown by the Mississippi vote!
But in many ways pro abortionist are afraid of the people, afraid they cannot defend a moral issue, and one of conscience rather than politics.
