Idiotic referendum loses in Mississippi

Even Mississippi's starting to get on board with America now?

Today, Mississippi voters faced a patently absurd referendum that would have defined a fertilized egg as a person. The effect would have been to outlaw even many forms of birth control. The referendumb was clearly unconstitutional (which I'm sure I don't even need to tell you).

Observers expected the measure to pass. But guess what? It's losing 60% to 40%.
