Press Conference Details---
When: Monday, November 7, 1:30pm
Where: Mississippi State Capitol in the Old Supreme Court Chamber (2nd floor, Room 216)
Medical professionals have brought up several legitimate and legal questions about the initiative that the legal community and legislative body need to address and explain to the electorate.
Among the legal and legislative issues to be considered, both prior to and after the passage of Initiative 26 are: the exceptions to save the mother if her life is at risk (e.g. ectopic), the criminal liability of a doctor in the event of accidental homicide, the availability of birth control, the effects on In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and the possibility of a woman who has a miscarriage be subject to criminal prosecution.
Among those present to answer these questions will be Stephen M. Crampton, Esq., Primary Drafter of Initiative 26 from Tupelo, and Senator Joey Fillingane, Esq., Chairman of Senate Judiciary A Committee.
There will be material made available to the press, including "Personhood Amendment Will Not Change Legal Safeguards for Physicians" by Mississippi Center for Public Policy, and Answers to "Unintended Consequences" of Personhood Amendment by Russell Latino, Esq.
Brief statements will address Gov. Haley Barbour's comment that a "pro-abortion group has called people's homes and deceived voters into thinking I'm opposed to Initiative 26, the Personhood Amendment. As I've previously stated, I voted for the Personhood Amendment. These misleading calls were made without my knowledge, without my permission and against my wishes. I have demanded this deception be stopped, and those responsible have assured me that no more calls will be made."
Comments will also be made about the large number of elected officials, including Gov. Haley Barbour, as well as statewide and local candidates for office who have endorsed Initiative 26.
