With the failed conservative policies - dare we say reactionary policies - of the Republican Party and its ignorance embracing party base dragging the country (and the middle class) downward, what are some of the GOP presidential candidates doing? Signing on to even more extreme
batshitery! Newt Gingrich, Rick "Frothy Mix"
Santorum and Michele "I'm Married to a Gay"
Bachmann have all signed
Personhood USA's pledge to support and promote both state and federal "
personhood" laws. Laws like the one that went down in flames last month in Mississippi.
Right Wing Watch has details on the lunacy:
Last month, the radical "personhood" amendment in Mississippi was trounced in the polls, with 58% of voters rejecting the Religious Right's effort to implement draconian anti-choice restrictions in the state.
But that has not stopped supporters of this "personhood" movement from moving ahead with plans to try and pass similar amendments in states across the nation.
And now Personhood USA has announced that Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich have all signed the organization's pledge to support and promote both state and federal "personhood" laws . . .
The "Personhood Republican Persidential Candidate Pledge" reads as follows:
I oppose assisted suicide, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and procedures that intentionally destroy developing human beings.
I pledge to the American people that I will defend all innocent human life. Abortion and the intentional killing of an innocent human being are always wrong and should be prohibited.
If elected President, I will work to advance state and federal laws and amendments that recognize the unalienable right to life of all human beings as persons at every stage of development, and to the best of my knowledge, I will only appoint federal judges and relevant officials who will uphold and enforce state and federal laws recognizing that all human being at every stage of development are person with the unalienable right to life.
