On one hand, it is very saddening that this measure did not pass. But on the other hand, if the majority can "rule" that life begins at conception - or that it does not - majority can also rule that life ends at 60, or 70, or if someone is so ill they cannot speak, etc. Mob rule - pure democracy - is not the way our Constitutional Republic is meant to run. Of course, it would be a good sign if the majority of voters in Mississippi understood the difference between life and a lifeless stone, but considering how ignorant many people are about life, and also how many people are easily swayed by leftist propaganda, this vote should not be surprising.
Who knows what it would have taken to get the 5% more votes to pass it? Triage provisions (life of mother/siblings)? Firm floor at either appearance of heart beat or operational nervous system? The difference between legal and moral compromises has to be kept very clear here. Asking too much legally, you get nothing and get a big bust morally.
The vote was manipulated by the abortion industry to be about personal choice (for the mother, not the baby). It was decided it is an invasion of privacy to say that a baby is alive from the moment it is ....alive. The culture of death is alive and well in Mississippi.
