Personhood Mississippi is a grassroots, volunteer organization that collected over 130,000 signatures from Mississippians in one year to put the Personhood Amendment on the ballot. The Personhood Amendment gives Mississippians the opportunity to vote to recognize the God-given rights of all human beings, to end "legal" abortion in our state, and to help stop the spread of human cloning and other medical cannibalism.
