Angry Troll Leading Personhood Campaign That Bans IVF Has IVF Kids

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson

EVEN ANGRY WAR FETUS HATE STOOPID MISSISSIPPI JESUS PEOPLE TROLLS.The generally obese, illiterate citizens of Mississippi are for some reason voting today on an insane initiative widely billed as a litmus test on “how fucking backasswards can Mississippi possibly be?” that will determine whether the state adds a constitutional amendment defining fertilized egg blobs to be “persons.” The rest of you humans, fuck off! Enjoy your lifelong destiny as poverty-stricken uninsured criminal slobs. In addition to banning all abortions and certain types of birth control, the vaguely-worded amendment would also outlaw in-vitro fertilization, which is oh, a little weird considering that Mississippi “personhood” leader Brad Prewitt’s kids were the result of this common medical procedure.

From Salon:

“It just seems so unfair that you got your two children and now you’re taking the rights (away) for others,” said Cristen Hemmins yesterday.

Hemmins, the most visible face of the movement to defeat Mississippi’s now-notorious Personhood Amendment, heading for a close vote today, was talking to Brad Prewitt. He’s the campaign director charged with passing the initiative, which defines life as beginning at fertilization. He’s also a father through in-vitro fertilization, which fertility specialists say Initiative 26 would make practically impossible.

“Nothing’s fair,” Prewitt replied, according to a recording, and walked away.

Prewitt is the perfect representative for why the grim little anti-choice goblins are insufferable, because this is an issue that is forever and ever about what other people choose to do and the gaggle of righteous idiots feeling like they deserve to have an opinion about it. “Do as I say, not as I do” according to American Jesus, etc. [Salon]

When they came for the IUD, I said nothing, because I used birth control pills….

Preferred Customer November 8, 2011 at 5:15 pm

I guess this means if you use an IUD, you can't travel to Mississippi. Which is a shame. Wait, no.

Are you trying to make some sort of "point" here? Are you wondering why Big Pharma had no trouble finding a cheap, no-side-effects cure for Middle-Age-Limp-Dick Syndrome, but can only devise endless, expensive "treatments" for breast cancer that extract all possible revenue before letting the patient die? Are you implying that Big Med is run by old guys who care more about their problems and their profits than they do about human welfare?

Cuz it's all true.

Mississippi is defining blastocysts to be persons, while denying personhood to anyone without a penis; they really want to go back to the 1800s.

Limeylizzie November 8, 2011 at 5:15 pm

In a horrible way, that is absolutely perfect.

kissawookiee November 8, 2011 at 5:22 pm

They might suddenly find they believe in science, should science come up with a way to tell them which blastocysts will end up sporting wood one day.

Gomez571 November 8, 2011 at 6:47 pm

If you must study science to use a microscope and you can't tell if an egg is fertilized without using a microscope, problem solved.

BaldarTFlagass November 8, 2011 at 6:22 pm

In 2000, the Mississippi state legislature introduced a bill to make it illegal for a male customer to have an erection at a strip club even if he is fully dressed. With appropriate citation – Lamm, Steven, M.D. 2005. The Hardness Factor. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 9:27 pm

They're going to be examining a whole lotta panties. About one in three pregnancies ends in miscarriage, and that's only the ones that have gotten far enough along to be noticed. A lot of ova fail to implant at all.

I seem to remember that they do this in El Salvador(?), and also that it didn't work out so well for them. But maybe I'm misremembering anaconda Teh Oldz.

comrad_darkness November 9, 2011 at 11:09 am

It still is. Women with ectopic pregnancies have to dangerously wait for it to rupture to get it treated. Women are chattel, babies are all the infant Christ, dontchaknow.

Herring_Burnit November 9, 2011 at 1:00 pm

Pretty shitty way to treat the nice ladypeople who bring us into the world, love us till we're grown enough to deal, and see to our comfort and happiness for the rest of our natural lives.

And with 7 billion humans and rapidly dwindling food and water supply, you'd think babies (human) would be treated as evidence of a planet-destroying carcinoma, which is all humans are, really.

This is so unfair against Mr. Prewitt. The law was well thought out. If a women wants to have IVF, she is bound and thrown into a local river. If she floats, she is not of good enough moral character, and will not be allowed to have IVF. However, if she drowns, she may have IVF.

The same goes for the use of IUDs and other forms of birth control the prevent the implantation of a few cells in the uterine wall. It is what God wants people!

That's just what this country needs: more people from Mississippi.

CommieLibunatic November 8, 2011 at 5:38 pm

I guess that now is a good time to point out that pretty much every man has the ability to repopulate the entire world population by himself over the course of his life.

I'll also point out that we have man-portable weapons that can punch through multiple walls in a house and detonate in a specific room to ensure efficient obliteration of children with minimal loss of property value.

What I'm trying to say is in both cases, just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Jeez, Tessiee, don't do that. Families with members who are mentally handicapped don't need this.

GhostBuggy November 8, 2011 at 5:20 pm

IVF is a thing to rage against now? What the what? It's got eggs and sperm and babies, conservatives' three favorite things (especially the sperm, if you get my meaning).

Seriously though, Jesus Christ, this country, etc. etc.

emmelemm November 8, 2011 at 5:29 pm

But it also relies on science. Bad! Bad!

Lascauxcaveman November 8, 2011 at 5:42 pm

The thing these yokels have against it is that some of the fertilized eggs don't get used.

In other words, when you toss that used petri dish, you're murdering beautiful, white, Christian baby souls!

Arguments like this are what caused me to think myself out of the mystical maze of my Catholic upbringing as a teenager. It just takes one or two really stupid points of doctrine to make you start questioning the whole ball of wax, no matter how thorough your training.

jqheywood November 8, 2011 at 6:18 pm

No kidding. I got into a fight with a nun over creationism in fourth grade. I told her that she was wrong, that Adam and Eve were an allegory, and that evolution was the ticket. She whacked me with a brass-edged ruler and sent me to Father, the principal, who called my dad. I thought my life was going to be over (hey, 4th graders tend to imagine the worst). My dad came in, took one look at my bleeding thumb, and almost decked the nun and the priest. I was in public school the next day, thank FSM!

emmelemm November 8, 2011 at 7:07 pm

A story with a happy ending!

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 9:46 pm

Sometimes things work out.

Ankhoryt February 9, 2012 at 11:14 pm

Yeah, I got out of it cuz a nun slapped my mother and then LIED ABOUT IT. It has been over fifty years and my mother hasn't forgiven her yet.

By the time I *chose* Catholic school, I was in college and 99% of my nuns were great. But I'm deeply grateful to have been spared Catholic high school.

GhostBuggy November 8, 2011 at 6:28 pm

Yeah, I just went and read up on it. To think, all those eggs could have grown up to be denied health care! Now what will these assholes do? Deny tax monies for their OWN HOVEROUNDS? I THINK NOT.

I had a similar upbringing and exit experience with the Catholic church, by the way. That day when you realize you can't accept a single religious concept or teaching without immediately coming into conflict with either another teaching from the very same book or a basic physical law (usually both!), that's a good day in your life.

You know snowflakes ain't natchul in Mississippi, doncha?

deelzebub November 8, 2011 at 9:59 pm

Along with the frozen unused embryos that are thrown away, the dirty little secret of IVF and is "selective reduction". When a doctor thinks a woman might be a high risk for miscarriages, he/she implants multiple fetuses. If too many grow, he/she can go in and abort the extra ones so that the surviving ones have a better chance of going full-term and being healthy. To which I say…GOOD. One or two or three babies are stressful enough; no one can handle a litter and not lose their shit. But then, I'm not pro-choice, I'm pro-abortion. I think they are great. I think more people should have abortions….like Mrs. Duggar, anyone born again, the stars of Teen Mom, or God forbid any cast member of Jersey Shore should they procreate (although there is hope that the multiple STDs have sterilized them all).

SorosBot November 8, 2011 at 10:26 pm

Chichikovovich November 8, 2011 at 5:23 pm

So why doesn't the fertility clinic say that if the measure passes, they'll just get the remaining ova fertilized by Prewett out of deep freeze, put them in an insulated fedex package with some cooling material, and ship them to Prewett's house. He's the father of these lil' snowflake people, after all. He's responsible for raising them. And make sure you get a reliable electricity source for the special freezer, Mr. Prewett – I expect that the punishment for criminally negligent homicide is pretty severe in Mississippi. Especially if it's a dozen of your own children you've murdered. Happy fatherhood!

widestanceshakedown November 8, 2011 at 5:41 pm

Mumbly_Occupado November 8, 2011 at 7:23 pm

I did some googling because I was curious as to the answer to this, and the personhood wingnuts claim that existing laws already permit intervention in ectopic pregnancies. Now, I'm pretty sure we can take anti-abortion, anti-birth control, anti-ivf activists at their word, after all, who ever heard of those God-fearing folks of telling lies, or say, just for example, murdering someone, to further their political agenda? I mean, their religion tells them not to. It could never happen.

Mumbly_Occupado November 8, 2011 at 7:35 pm

Also too, ectopic pregnancies, nuthin'. It's a bit rarer, but I used to work with a couple docs who specialized in GTN.

For lay folks, GTN is when an egg gets fertilized, heads down the tube, starts to implant in the uterus… and then decides it wants to grow up to be cancer. Fun, fun stuff.

She said she did not know whether or how she might tell more of her story, but had been warming “to the idea of a joint press conference where all of the women would be together with our attorneys and all of this evidence would be considered together.”

Update from Politico: Herman Cain predicted that more women would “probably” come forward to accuse him of sexual harassment – though not, he quickly added, because he’s guilty of that charge.

GregComlish November 8, 2011 at 6:43 pm

Goddammit these are the same shits that blew their fucking top when Octomom had all her fucking embryos implanted in her. No fucking regard for the fetuses in that case. It was just nonstop bitching about what a disturbed leech this woman was for having so many babies and what a cost to society she was creating. Hypocritical pieces of shit!

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:54 pm

Well, in all fairness, OctuPussy was a Muslin, yaknow.

(I know she wasn't, but they thought she was, which is the point, isn't it?)

Troglodeity November 8, 2011 at 6:49 pm

Next year's Mississippi census should be interesting.

Antispandex November 8, 2011 at 6:53 pm

Um, Mr. Pre-witt, the quote is, "Life is unfair". Some things should be fair…at least people who don't have the misfortune of living in your shity little state believe so.

Chichikovovich November 8, 2011 at 7:02 pm

I'm still trying to understand how this works from Prewitt's point of view. The clinic must have fertilized dozens of ova. Only a few would have been used for attempted implantation. So there were a bunch left over. Now either they were discarded (with Prewitt's complete foreknowledge) or they are still in deep freeze. So by Prewitt's standards, he is either an accessory to the murder of dozens of his own little children, or he's a spectacularly negligent father who should shoulder his responsibilities to the little snowflake people right away. I wonder which it is. Someone should ask him. Repeatedly.

TitsOccupado November 8, 2011 at 8:21 pm

These morons would have him share that fatherhood award with Joe Walsh.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 11:41 pm

Haha, today Walsh is busy shouting threats at his constituents. I get the feeling his fatherhood award will soon be rusting on a mantel shelf next to his Congressional ID.

schvitzatura November 8, 2011 at 7:11 pm

Prewitt's narrow eurethra and low motility "swimmers" made him a virtual eunuch.

His decision to deny the others in his state the same opportunity makes him a douchebag…

tessiee November 9, 2011 at 9:59 pm

If only he'd stayed in his job at the propane dealership.

ibwilliamsi November 8, 2011 at 7:13 pm

If passed it will head directly to a judicial arena. What a waste of tax $$$ if they pass this because it most certainly will be overturned.

If passed, will they register all of the fetuses as Republicans and re-district around them?

And this creates jobs how?

Come here a minute November 8, 2011 at 7:15 pm

Why would you ever want to prevent a Mississipi blastocyst from being born — they're all so awesome!

voodooeconomics November 8, 2011 at 7:43 pm

Prewitt has got to be the biggest dick in Mississipee…"Nothing is fair". what a cok

RavenRant November 8, 2011 at 8:11 pm

Angry War Fetus pic is the greatest artistic achievement EVAH!

Sitcom pitch: Feral Child from Road Warrior and Angry War Fetus team up to survive in post-apocalyptic wasteland. Humorous hijinks ensue.

El Pinche November 8, 2011 at 8:31 pm

Don't ever play frisbee with those little bastards!!

RavenRant November 8, 2011 at 8:38 pm

I loved Feral Child. The crawling out on the hood of the truck scene gets me every time. (I'm not gonna scream, I'm not gonna scream, I'm not gonn – SCREEEEEEEE!)

tessiee November 9, 2011 at 10:00 pm

"Sitcom pitch: Feral Child from Road Warrior and Angry War Fetus team up to survive in post-apocalyptic wasteland. Humorous hijinks ensue."

Needs moar Bat Boy.

RavenRant November 9, 2011 at 11:54 pm

Bat Boy would certainly round out the team. But we need a love interest…

BigDumbRedDog November 8, 2011 at 8:16 pm

Next law will state that personhood ends at birth. After birth we are to become mindless worker drones deserving no rights whatsoever. Yay for the future!?

Pat_Pending November 8, 2011 at 10:54 pm

I think Nina Simone would just shrug and say, 'white people are stupid.'

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:56 pm

I love when Nina Simone sings that.

mrblifil November 8, 2011 at 9:43 pm

And God blessed Prewitt with micro-penis, forcing him to impregnate his wife by swishing their juices around in a dish and flushing a couple dozen blastocysts up her hoo-hah to see if they could get any of 'em to stick.

Once again God shows his/her eminent sense of fairness.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:56 pm

Why d'YOU think the li'l bastid is so mean and angry alla time?

smitallica November 8, 2011 at 9:54 pm

Don't know about fertilized eggs.
Pretty sure adult homosexuals and the poor are persons, though.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:56 pm

No way! Not in the Republican Handbook!

Barrelhse November 8, 2011 at 10:38 pm

Ha ha, you lost.
Great news from KY, ME, and OH as well!

tessiee November 9, 2011 at 10:02 pm

"Great news from KY, ME, and OH as well!"

Would that be KY the jelly, ME the person, and OH the happy ending?

Pat_Pending November 8, 2011 at 10:53 pm

I'd love to get all snarky, but really, all I want to say is,

What a cunt.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 11:05 pm

I will assist in this endeavour.

I pledge my shovel.

Uh, guyz, looks like the folks in Mississippi voted this down.

This shit didn't even fly in Missi – freaking – ssippi…

Good thing, I was going to have to move my sperm back to a local, community bank!

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 11:38 pm

YES!

ShaveTheWhales November 9, 2011 at 2:12 am

And Haley Blubour "struggled with" the ambiguity and unintended consequences, but voted for it anyway.

Negropolis November 9, 2011 at 3:43 am

Because he's a fucking coward, the slug bastard.

mayor_quimby November 8, 2011 at 11:44 pm

I've got a BBQ that could be used to rapidly oxidize any 'inconvenient' items.

Negropolis November 9, 2011 at 3:24 am

oh, a little weird

Rank hypocrisy is neither a "little weird" nor surprising when it comes to the GOP. Hell, rank hypocrisy is just about the only thing they do well.

tessiee November 9, 2011 at 10:03 pm

That, and bullying the weak and helpless.

Local_Mojo November 9, 2011 at 10:27 am

Uh, the "obese, illiterate citizens of Mississippi" rejected the amendment. The citizens of Alabama were also not so interested in the third-place finishers in the Republican Ag commissioner and Governor's races as the Wonkette.

We have corrupt idiots in politics, but they don't generally rank with the Michele Bachmanns and some of the California asshats.

comrad_darkness November 9, 2011 at 11:13 am

I'll bring the beers. And my high morale boosting energy.

deelzebub November 9, 2011 at 10:53 pm

Спасибо, Comrad!

OccupyFnChicken November 9, 2011 at 1:25 pm

Youtube that recording and make it so we may all laugh/cry.

Herring_Burnit November 9, 2011 at 1:43 pm

Somebody beat me to it. My version's slightly different, but this one's worth it just to see her laughing and smiling. Go Limp, by Nina Simone. She does Mississippi Goddam! right after, but it's not on this clip.

OccupyFnChicken November 9, 2011 at 4:19 pm

What a great clip! thank you for sharing it :)

Herring_Burnit November 9, 2011 at 11:27 pm

You're welcome! I think it's from the album I Put A Spell On You.

Herring_Burnit November 9, 2011 at 1:48 pm

This is the version I have on the Pod. You can hear that sexy, sexy laugh when she says "I forgot the next … last verse. I forGOT it!" And then later when she's singing the line "And before she had time to remember her brick," and she just breaks down into giggles. What a lovely, talented lady.

tessiee November 9, 2011 at 8:39 pm

"In addition to banning all abortions and certain types of birth control, the vaguely-worded amendment would also outlaw in-vitro fertilization"

This is clearly insane. Everyone knows that doing anything that results in *fewer* babbys (abortion, birth control, sex education) is a horrible, horrible sin that goes against Gawd's will and makes Baby Jesus cry; whereas doing anything that results in *more* babbys (fertilization, millions of dollars worth of medical care for Cletus and Brandine's 20th child, etc.) is okey-dokey.

anniegetyerfun November 8, 2011 at 10:06 pm

Wait, is you in Seattle-ish?

Guppy November 8, 2011 at 10:07 pm

Sorry, that "nc, MM" stuff ain't my kink.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:12 pm

Ai moist soitinly is not. We not-Seattlers can read Danny too, yaknow.

In fact, for years, "Hey, Faggot!" was my sole link to the turmoil of Faggotland.

anniegetyerfun November 8, 2011 at 10:15 pm

Oh, OK. Was worried that perhaps I was married to you.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:20 pm

Well, you *could* be. Are you a mathematician and UNIX geek? Or a writer/photographer documenting chemical databases for system administrators and end-users?

anniegetyerfun November 8, 2011 at 10:25 pm

No. I'm a blogger (hangs head in shame).

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:43 pm

Whew! Well, at least you're not THOSE two.

I guess we're NOT married. Not that I wouldn't shamelessly flirt with you and stuff, but I'm so relieved.

So, like, what's the blog? I mean, you know, just in case I wanted to slither over for a closer look.

anniegetyerfun November 8, 2011 at 10:46 pm

Ha! Like I'd reveal my identity here, after talking about all of my abortions and anal sex parties, and anal abortions and whatnot.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 10:58 pm

Awright, awright, awreddy. Tell it to the political cat (oneword) at gmail dot com.

Anal abortions, huh? I'll be checking YOUR timeline any second now, Missy.

Herring_Burnit November 8, 2011 at 11:55 pm

Are you black?
Are you brown?
Are you multiculti?
Is your name Barack H. Obama?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then, yes, it's all your fault.

mayor_quimby November 9, 2011 at 12:23 am

Fuck, do you have Gloria Alred's or Alan Dershowitz's number?
Otherwise I'm getting the chair. Damn shame Johnny Cochran is dead and gone

Herring_Burnit November 9, 2011 at 12:35 am

Sorry, no. But it *has* been nice knowing you.
