Great. First we have Citizens United, and the reification of the concept of corporate personhood, where a fictional entity made up of the interests of multiple individuals is granted the same positive rights as each of those constituent persons, but none of the responsibilities, moral hazard or downside risk that comes with those rights for any single person. Now we have, at the opposite end of the spectrum, this brilliant bill being egged along by Haley Barbour in the great state of Mississippi, which will "define a fertilized egg as a person with full legal rights".
I'm waiting for the first pregnant woman to speak on behalf of her fertilized egg for its inalienable right to purchase a gun.
