Pro-life Amendment Will Likely Appear on Ballot in 2011

The deadline for certifying signatures has been extended so that Personhood Mississippi will now likely have enough signatures to place an amendment to the state constitution on the ballot. The amendment will include the unborn in the definition of person under state law.

After argument on an emergency motion for a preliminary injunction filed by Liberty Counsel but before the judge issued a ruling, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, citing to significant weather-related delays this week, decided that the deadline for filing the petitions should be moved from tomorrow, February 13, to Tuesday, February 16, 2010.

This extension provided some welcome relief at a critical time. Liberty Counsel will continue with the lawsuit on behalf of Personhood Mississippi in order to protect the rights of all Mississippi voters. This is a great victory, not only for Personhood Mississippi but for all citizens of Mississippi. The denial of even one person's constitutional rights is the denial of the rule of law for us all.
