Oklahoma Personhood Measure Struck Down By Supreme Court - 5/1/2012 9:22:25 AM

The Oklahoma Supreme Court unanimously vetoed a ballot measure that would have given embryos full personhood rights on Monday, ruling it "clearly unconstitutional" because it would block a woman's legal right to have an abortion.

The personhood measure would give embryos the same legal rights as people from the moment of fertilization, which opponents say would ban abortion and complicate the legality of in vitro fertilization and many forms of birth control. Enacting such a law would violate the U.S. Supreme Court's 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which allows states to pass some abortion restrictions but prevents them from overturning the constitutional right to end a pregnancy.

"The mandate of Casey is as binding on this Court today as it was twenty years ago," the Oklahoma Supreme Court wrote in its decision. "Initiative Petition No. 395 conflicts with Casey and is void on its face and it is hereby ordered stricken."

A personhood bill also failed in the Oklahoma legislature earlier this month, when Republican leadership in the state House of Representatives decided not to bring it to a vote, despite mounting pressure from anti-abortion groups.

The trend is preventing the erosion of the rights women have gained to this point.

Nothing to do with adding more rights,
Stopping the erosion since 2010 IS.
As Tazzy so correctly said.

I still feel sorry for the little buggers not getting their chance, though.

my first sentence stated it poorly. my second sentence is i think what you're saying about erosion. but i disgee, it's not just since 2010. They've been trying to erode for decades, since roe v wade.

However, the Supreme Court granted full personhood rights to a corporation, beginning at the moment of fertilization of said corporation. Its also law that any corporation may not act under any set morals, but is required to act selfishly at every moment on the behalf of its shareholders.

omg don't get me started on this new bullshit Sup Ct legal fiction that corporations are people that can make unlimited campaign contributions.

corps have always had a right to speech, but not unfettered. the Sup Ct took the basics of business or "commercial speech" laid down decades ago, and bastardized it into meaning corps can have unfettered "political speech".

A woman is not a boardroom either.

Agree with you Hlen re corporate personhood.

Well of course it will, Lucy, but it isn't a trend. It's a reliable cycle, and a fundraising machine for both sides.

If corporations are people when does Union cvarbide get put to death in TX for Bhopal? Thething that is most wrong is corporations as people are sociopaths. They exist to generate returns to shareholders. They habveno consious and anyone claimingotherwised just needs to look how they act when there are no local regualtions. That said their political donations are not for a cause they are an investment and basically our most activist court has put goverment up for sale.
