Planned
Parenthood
pauses personhood effort
Pro-life forces are preparing for a court battle to decide whether
voters can decide on a Personhood amendment in Missouri.
The measure would declare that a human is a person at the biological
beginning of life. Personhood Missouri went through all the obstacles
in order to launch a petition drive and get a slot on a future election
ballot. Personhood Missouri spokesman Dr. Gregory Thompson tells
OneNewsNow that a lawsuit has brought the effort to a halt.
"Planned Parenthood is the number-one murderer of babies in our country
and is being represented by the ACLU, which takes on every perversion
that's against God, family and country," the spokesman reports.
"They're coming against the secretary of state and the state auditor
because they don't like the language of the ballot title."
Thompson says Planned Parenthood wants to manipulate and step on the
right the people of Missouri have to vote on the issue.
"They make hundreds of millions of dollars off of the taxpayers and
they're using some of that very money to sue the state to keep us from
our constitutional rights of being able to address grievances and
[being] able to voice what we decide is best for our families and our
nation," Thompson contends.
If the election were held and Planned Parenthood lost, the end result,
according to Thompson, would take away abortion, which is the clinic's
greatest financial resource.
