The "personhood movement" as ARL describes it, advocates full legal rights "from the moment of sexual or asexual human reproduction, which includes from fertilization." The group opposes all forms of abortion as well as contraception like the Plan B pill and "any birth control pill or intrauterine device that works to prevent implantation."

In other words, to these people "personhood" begins at conception and, if you have the wrong chromosomes, ends at birth. Very nice. I'll admit it's clever of them to co-opt feminist language about human rights and women-as-people, though. At any rate, on the one hand I'm delighted when our enemies start fighting amongst themselves, but I'm fearful because the right-wing issues voters are exactly part of what's driving the party further and further to the right. When they say Sarah Palin isn't right-wing enough, that might genuinely damage her politically, and I shudder to think of who they'll present that they find sufficiently wingnutty.
