NARAL Pro-Choice America has awarded Personhood USA, a pro-life movement, as one of the top four threats to abortion in the country.
Keith Mason (Personhood USA)Keith Mason, head of Personhood USA, says, "NARAL Pro-Choice America is one of the most liberal, rabid pro-abortion groups in the country, and so we're excited to be noted as on their Hall of Shame, and we take it as a true honor."
He believes the acknowledgment gives the personhood movement more credibility rather than tagging it with the intended negative connotation.
"If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that got hit. And when we're working on personhood, the people who are howling the most are these pro-abortion people," Mason notes. "The people that look at abortion as a sacrament are the most furious and [are] going crazy that we would have the audacity to say that every human being is a person no matter how small."
The personhood movement is trying to have laws and constitutional amendments passed in all 50 states to declare that a person is a human being at the biological beginning of the child's life. The new year is expected to be a busy one for the effort.
