Two weeks ago, after most Mississippians had wrapped up their work-week, Jim Hood issued a statement professing his support for the Personhood Amendment.
“Support Personhood! I want to make my position very clear. Personally, I have always supported the sanctity of life.” – Jim Hood, Friday, September 17th
Truth: Jim Hood has not always been a pro-life advocate
The Personhood Amendment that Jim Hood claimed to support almost never made it onto the ballot – because he tried to stop it!
In 2010, Jim Hood issued a legal opinion that nearly killed the Personhood Amendment’s chances of making it onto the ballot. Hood arbitrarily issued an opinion that would’ve decreased the amount of time Personhood advocates would’ve had to collect the signatures needed to get the issue on the ballot.
Pro-life groups in Mississippi and beyond responded to Hood’s clear end-around on the Constitution with outrage.
While Jim Hood would have you believe that his half-hearted support of the Personhood Amendment in the heat of a tough political campaign proves his pro-life credentials, his legal opposition to the initiative more than a year ago tells you the real story.
This end-around on Mississippi law was not the first time, however, that Jim Hood has subverted Constitutional protections to advance pro-abortion policies. Jim Hood’s support of Obamacare, which allows for taxpayer funded abortions, is simply another installment in Jim Hood’s flawed pro-life track-record.
According to the Heritage Foundation, Obamacare allows the Government to fund abortions through many different ‘creative ways.’
During the entirety of his political career, Jim Hood has told Mississippi voters one thing during political campaigns and done something entirely different once elected. Jim Hood’s pro-abortion legal decisions are simply another example of this behavior.
