After Mississippi defeat, what about ‘personhood’?

The failure of the "personhood" initiative in Mississippi in November
intensified what appears to be a growing divide in the antiabortion
movement.

Some backers of the initiative, which aimed to make
abortion illegal by defining a fetus as a person from the moment of
conception, are pointing fingers at major antiabortion groups that stood
on the sidelines during the Mississippi debate.

"What you have is
a few organizations that are moving in the wrong direction on the issue
of life," said Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, a leading
conservative law firm that provided advice to the initiative's sponsors.
