Mississippi’s recent personhood amendment, which was poised to be the first in the nation to pass, failed. Why? In part, because many pro-life advocates were duped into believing that a constitutional amendment declaring the humanity of the pre-born would somehow make millions of tiny, innocent children more vulnerable to being killed by abortion.
Planned Parenthood’s social engineering machine was cranked full throttle to defeat the amendment, spewing lies and sowing doubt among the populace that were, in the end, extremely efficacious.
