Are you saying Tillman was campaigning for Priester?

Nice find, js. Funny that you snuck that in right above my last screenshot of a comment, presumably, by Drew that directly contradicts what you posted by him. You and I make a good team when we're not fighting. ;-)

So, which is it, Drew? Would your Personhood allow "removal" if it saved the life of the mother or not? You seem fond of calling people "liars" and "stupid" -- but you really do seem to be saying at least two very different things here.

It feels to me that you're just showing up in different places and calling Personhood critics liars to tamp down criticism of a very vague potential law. Regardless of what you have said yourself in the past.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Here, Drew, [on the AAUW website][1], you call people liars and, most interestingly, indicate that Personhood would NOT stop abortion when needed to save the life of the mother. More inconsistency? Would love you to explain how all this fits together, including with what other Personhood USA and Personhood Mississippi advocates say:

Drew, I've been Googling around on your name to see what you've said in the past. You're still with Personhood? Are you the "data czar"? Is this your post?

And [I found this article][1] that you seem to wholeheartedly support. Just trying to figure out what you're trying to save above, being that it seems inconsistent. My advice is to stand by your opinion and not be wishy-washy. It strikes me that many Personhood leaders, apparently such as yourself, are trying to push one thing, which encompasses more than no abortion whatsoever by defining "abortion" differently than many others do (including many anti-abortion folks). But when others talk about it, y'all show up and try to push back on it, presumably because you're afraid that the extremism of Personhood will turn off many voters, as it clearly did in 2011 in Mississippi.

But, this kind of inconsistency and intentional vagueness is in no way helping your case, as far as I can see. It almost seems intentionally designed to hurt your efforts. Sure y'all don't have someone undercover in there trying to sink your efforts? Kidding (sort of).

It does seem unlikely that he would say that to us if he meant anything other than the offering plate. But we'll see what else we can find out.

donnaladd says...

Leaders in Mississippi's Personhood campaign ("anti-aborts" in your parlance) certainly believe that hormonal birth control is a form of abortion. They've made no secret about it. Here is one [national story about Jackson-area anti-aborts][1] (again, your language).

It is interesting to see you, Drew, clarify that "fertilized eggs" are human beings. I think you just shot your own argument in the foot there.

The bottom line is exactly what you're illustrating: Some people, such as yourself, do not believe Personhood would stop hormonal birth control, IVF, etc. Others, however, are campaigning for it because they know it will give them the legal grounds to do exactly that.

Thus, the dangerous confusion of the vagueness, which is clearly on purpose. We appreciate you coming by to help prove that to other readers.

It's not only JPD who says it. It's criminal-justice experts--and the family members of innocent bystanders, like Milinda Clark, who are killed by these pursuits. I assume you haven't lost a family member from one of them due to your post. I hope your luck continues.

There's a phone number listed on that finance report. Did you try that? If not, the phone directory?

Newcomer, please don't try to use this site to spread rumors and accusations. If you have information the public needs to know, please call R.L. Nave at 601.362.6121 ext. 12 or email at [email protected] so we can check out your claims.

Otherwise, don't post them here, and others should disregard *any* allegation that is not independently verified.

Also, if you're a campaign staff who wants to use this site to play sock puppet, don't bother. Be warned: If we catch you doing it in this campaign, we will reveal your name and the campaign you work for. We're not in the mood for childish games that insult the voters.

We're hearing strong rumors that he's in, and I'd expect him to run. I'd be surprised if Lee doesn't as well. They both really want the job, clearly.

We can check that rumor out but watch the residency rumors. We've shot those down many times -- and even in cases where you show it's true, it seems nothing happens. But I have no idea whether the Johnsons might have left Jackson. It seems unlikely, but we'll see.

We've had at least two different sources tell us that Antar lives in Ridgeland--but the response seems to be that they (he?) owns two different places or such. Again: We have checked NONE of this out, yet, in an organized way, so give us a chance. We will.
