Most of this kind of quibble has to do with triage situations, which are well understood.

Hardly; the life of the mother stuff is trivial compared to the many other obvious implications of defining a fertilized egg as a person in every single law in Mississippi.

Cmon, you've seen all the posts here where use of the birth control pill is considered an abortion; if you accept that it's an obvious implication that Mississippi has to ban the Pill.

And then, of course, divert massive police resources to preventing the Pill from coming over the border from Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

The first person in jail for Pill-smuggling would be a hoot, especially the wife beater or child molester that had to be released to make room for them.

Though not as fun as the first women busted for posession.

Yep, you’re now the bastion of virtue in the middle of another iniquitous 49. Tough spot to be in!

Still, a modified measure that would make explicit triage provisions for pregnancy and would delay the positive recognition of life until a heartbeat was present, would probably sail by easily in MS. That would cover most, if not all, common abortion situations without implicating alleged abortifacients.
