“Science confirms that a person is a human being at the moment of fertilization. At that moment, we are fully human and fully alive,” explained Dr. Freda Bush, Mississippi OB/GYN in a video for Yes on 26. “…let’s welcome and protect all mothers and babies, without exception.”

In addition, Amendment 26 is in the unique position of being championed by both Republican and Democratic candidates in Mississippi’s 2011 election cycle, including both candidates for Governor, both candidates for Attorney General, and many candidates for Senate and House of Representatives.

Senator Roger Wicker, Representative Alan Nunnelee, and Representative Greg Harper recorded a video in support of Amendment 26, along with a video from Representative Steven Palazzo, both of which can be viewed

Lieutenant Governor and Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Phil Bryant Co-Chairs the Yes on 26 Advisory Board with American Family Association President Don Wildmon.

Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Johnny DuPree has also endorsed Amendment 26.

“I have never seen a prolife effort receive such broad-based, bipartisan support,” observed Keith Mason,

President of Personhood USA. “It is really astonishing to see how many Mississippi pastors, doctors, lawyers,

and politicians – both Republican and Democrat – support Amendment 26. The people of Mississsippi have worked extremely hard to put Amendment 26 on the ballot, and they have worked just as hard to spread the word that Amendment 26 is the best way to vote prolife.“
