mississippi personhood amendment and what you can do

All right. I'm guessing most people seen the post on Mississippi's proposed Personhood Amendment that's being passed around, given that it's shown up on my flist roughly ten times now. The Amendment to the state constitution would define "personhood" to begin at fertilization (of an egg, personhood to a fertilized egg), which not only makes abortion illegal but effectively criminalizes women who have miscarriages and outlaws birth control. Once this law passes, the fertilized egg would be more protected by law than the woman carrying it. And any number of terrible laws could follow, if this law came into effect. It is also unconstitutional, given Roe v. Wade, but the law is basically being passed in order to challenge that decision. That is, once the law is in effect, it is up to those who suffer under it to bring a case against the law and to fight it in court, where the people backing the Amendment will have an opportunity to overturn the current (binding Supreme Court) decision that allows legal abortions.

( So I'm going to talk about what you can do - in particular, how you can write to the Democratic National Committee. )

In other news: I baked cookies. Pinboard improvements continue to make me happy. And I finally saw the SNSD English teaser for the song Boys - which is awful. I'm sorry, it sounds terrible. (Like someone elsewhere on the internet said: Who who WHO LET THE BOYS OUT?) But holy smokes, do I see a short-haired blonde Sunny looking like absolute sex? DO WANT. Also, 2/3 of SNSD on Running Man Eps 63 and 64 are out and subbed now. I know what I'm doing tomorrow!
