It's weird how the word "personhood" in our country has come to imply infringement on human rights.
By dressing up U.S. imperialism in clothing that appealed to the sartorial preferences of the non-Communist left, the overt hand of U.S. imperialism was concealed behind honeyed phrases. Social democrats didn’t see imperialism; they saw humanitarian intervention, democracy promotion and the responsibility to protect vulnerable populations. Anarchists and Trotskyites didn’t see U.S. efforts to dominate other countries on Wall Street’s behalf; they saw the fight against tyrants, dictators and Stalinists.

This is outrageous, but even if the voters also endorse it in the November election, I don't see it withstanding federal judicial scrutiny.
"I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless robots who protect them and their property." - Assata Shakur
Christian legislation in a Christian state? How surprising!
That's what I was going to say. Considering it's not Constitutionally legal for them to create that law, it would only stand for a short period of time before a judge overturned it.
That area of the country (midwest) is fascinating to me, culturally. Rural Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming etc. You drive through some areas on the interstate and see some anti-abortion billboards/ads, as well as others about how you need to accept your lord and savior Jesus Christ, and anti-meth stuff, etc. Those cultural artifacts combined with the rural locations (North Dakota looks very barren, almost lunar in the winter) is very interesting to me for some reason. Like I imagine some militias or anti-abortion bombers plotting away in random abandoned farmhouses or something.
But yeah, this sucks. Just another incident in the prolonged offensive against abortion over recent past, which has mostly taken the form of 'death by a thousand cuts'.
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
The further the crisis of Accumulation develops, the more and more the bourgeoisie develops contradictory and extreme views and divides itself over which direction its society should go, egalitarian or Order. In turn, this alienates a lot of workers who seek for a vehicle for class unity and egalitarian change. We Communists have to fulfill this longing and provide a united Party movement of the working class.
"It is necessary for Communists to enter into contradiction with the consciousness of the masses. . . The problem with these Transitional programs and transitional demands, which don't enter into any contradiction with the consciousness of the masses, or try to trick the masses into entering into the class struggle, create soviets - [is that] it winds up as common-or-garden reformism or economism." - Mike Macnair, on the necessity of the Minimum and Maximum communist party Program.
"You're lucky. You have a faith. Even if it's only Karl Marx" - Richard Burton
The dialogue of humanism has always been about excluding certain people from the definition of "human".
They think they live in a christian theocracy!
Capitalists spread misleading terms like this all the time. Just look at "right to work" and "citizens united", for example.
