Mississippi Murder Charge Against Pregnant Teen Dismissed
Fighting Personhood Measures — In Disguise
December 02, 2011
We are still celebrating the fact that Mississippians soundly rejected the so-called “personhood” measure that would have given fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses separate legal rights. We know that when people understand that fetal separatist measures hurt all pregnant women, they mobilize.
Protecting Dignity – Building Coalitions
We believe that a pregnant teenager who experiences a stillbirth deserves dignity and the power of a broad coalition behind her.
That is why when NAPW and Mississippi counsel Rob McDuff and Carrie Jourdan filed the opening briefs in Rennie Gibbs' case in the Mississippi Supreme Court, we didn’t do it alone.
