Mississippi Personhood Amendment

The Mississippi Personhood Amendment is a proposed change to the state's constitution aiming to recognize that life begins at conception. If approved, it could grant legal rights to unborn babies from the moment of fertilization, potentially affecting abortion laws, contraception, and fertility treatments. Supporters argue it protects unborn children’s lives, while opponents believe it could restrict access to reproductive healthcare and women’s rights. The amendment seeks to define personhood broadly, which could have significant legal and social implications within Mississippi.
