Mississippi 'Personhood' Amendment Vote Fails

What is a person?

Born.  

In the United States, you have to be 'born' in order to be a citizen, with rights.

14th Amendment, Section 1.  This clause has been used to make most of the Bill of Rights applicable to the states, as well as to recognize substantiv­e and procedural rights:

All persons born or naturalize­d in the United States, and subject to the jurisdicti­on thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdicti­on the equal protection of the laws.

The definition of 'born' is, "To come into existence through birth."  Not conception­.

It would require a Constituti­onal amendment, or would have, to change this, IMHO.
