Miss. House committee votes to ban most abortions
Associated Press
Sun HeraldJACKSON, Miss. - A Mississippi House committee voted Tuesday to ban most abortions in the state.
The only exception would be if the life of the pregnant woman were in danger. There would be no abortions allowed in cases of pregnancy caused by rape or incest.

The GOP knows that if they out-law abortion they'll be out on their asses faster than Yonivore can bend over for W, so they go along for now, draw the Fundies to vote GOP in the 06 midterms, then drop this issue like a hot potato after the election. Expect more Red-states to come up with these legal challenges that will go no-where.
I think they're doing this now b/c they feel like the recent SCOTUS additions give them the numbers on the issue of whether individual states can ban abortions.
Edit: In other words, I don't think this is a stunt. I think states like SD and Miss. (and prolly TX) have been waiting for a shift in the court that the addition of Alito may have caused.

"Wedge-issue" = anything that helps GOP candidates. Whereas enviromental issues, civil liberties, school lunches, Medicare, Social Security, etc...are simply valid concerns.
Got it.
Those aren't wedge-issues, they are the Democratic Platform.
When was the last time W and the Republican-controlled Senate and House threw the full force of the FEDS into outlawing abortion? Never.
Like I said.
Like I said - wedge issue.
It's funny how selfish human beings are. They produce a human being and decide they can’t live with the consequences so they abort a life.
And people support this.
Right, better to over-populate the world and help to foster hunger, poverty, death, war and pandemics that kill billions more than abortion.
That sounds familiar.Right, better to over-populate the world and help to foster hunger, poverty, death, war and pandemics that kill billions more than abortion.
Right, both parties have 'em.
It's also funny how egotistical people are. They choose to adhere to a certain set of beliefs and then decide that their beliefs should become universal law for all to obey.
Yep, it's a funny world.
Life >>> The freedom to kill at your own whim....
Standards and beliefs exist to establish order.
so long as they don't ask for welfare, or let teh gays adopt their babies.
Ok great, the fundies are finally comming around to ending capital punishment right?
ahhh no. Funny how scalia is such a gung ho catholic yet he picks and chooses which set of church beliefs he feels like enforcing through the supreme court.
Look, a woman has the right to choose whether or not to carry a non living organism and society does not have the right to control the womb. That's ethical barbarism.
Just for the record, I'm against the Death Penalty too.
When does this non-living organism become a human being?
When it comes out of the womb?
When is it right to kill this "thing"?
Eighth month into pregnancy? Seventh? Sixth?
Enlighten me.
And for all the 'ideologies' people in here like to criticize... when was the last time you tried to "reach out" to people in our prison system? Genuine concern goes a long way in helping them change their outlook on life. Why do you think the Federal Government helps subsidize this sort of ministry? Because the re-incident rate for these people is much lower than those who were not ministered.
When's the last time you adopted a baby?
I'm a pro bono lawyer for juveniles, i do a lot of reaching. That doesnt mean i have to support your forced christianization of america and the invasion of a woman's right to her own body
Non-living?? I am no scientist, but I do recall the pregnancy to childbirth unit I had in 11th grade biology. A fetus is living. To call a fetus "non-living," whether you are pro-choice or pro-life, is just inacurate.
40th trimester
Huh?40th trimester
Get bent on my shaft !
Quit acting like supporting anit abortion measures is such an oppressive thing. It's not like you're a ing female.
^i see you're excited....
what a fairy.
Who's Midgetonadonkey?
