"A ridiculous law!
And I'll brook no exception.
Personhood cannot begin with conception.
In the Land of the Free,
In this greatest of nations,
Personhood's only for large corporations!

Entertaining doggerel aside, the Mississippi constitutional amendment being voted on today is pretty unfunny stuff, part of a war against abortion that has turned into a war on birth control. (I would say it had turned into a legislative war against women, but I don't think it's 'turned into' that; I think it was really that all along.) Bad theology, bad biology bad sociology, and bad law.
