Soup Not-si Paul Ryan may believe that human life begins at conception, but that view isn’t quite as popular with the rest of sane America. Or the court system, apparently. After failing to pass Personhood in Mississippi last fall, not a one “Zygotes Are People, Too!” measure will be appearing on any state ballots this November 6th. But don’t go dancing on the movement’s grave just yet; fuckery is — as fuckery tends to be — still afoot.
Irin Carmon at Salon reports that despite lots of big talk last year from the Colorado-based Personhood USA folks, in every state where they’ve tried to put the humanity of zygotes up for a popular vote, either the courts have pretty much laughed them out the door (as in Oklahoma) or they’ve faced deafening voter apathy (as in Ohio). Does this mean that we can declare Personhood a complete and utter failure once and for all?
