Today Judge Malcolm Harrison ruled in state circuit court that Personhood Mississippi can be on the state’s ballot in the November 2011 election. This lawsuit was filed by the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and the Center for Reproductive Rights, seeking to keep Initiative 26 off the ballot, in spite of the fact that it received more than the required number of signatures.

As a client of Liberty Counsel, Personhood Mississippi is an organization working to prevent abortions by amending the state Constitution to include the unborn in the definition of “person.” The organization gathered more than 100,000 signatures in support of the proposed amendment, which is 10,000 more than necessary. This was despite Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood’s interpretation of the law that resulted in an early cut-off date, which prevented a number of signatures from being counted.
