It doesn't really answer my question. I assume abortion laws differ between states?
Abortion is legal in every US state, but some states have laws designed to make it more difficult to get one than others.  Roe v. Wade essentially forced all states to allow abortion.

If he wants to win in Mississippi Amscip needs to change his name to something that doesn't make him sound like the Antichrist in a Christian rapture novel.

I lost, but so did personhood, so I don't feel so bad.

There are no restrictions e.g. on the age of the fetus? Can you abort an 8 months old fetus? If not then you are prohibiting abortion to an extent and that's my point.

That procedure is very rare.  I'm not sure most clinics can even do it.  Calling it an "abortion holiday" would be deceptive.  It would be like traveling to a different part of the country to get a rare cancer treated and calling it a "Cancer holiday".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think I read somewhere that there are like 3 doctors left in the country who perform late term abortions.

Scipio - how'd you do?

If I found the right results, Scipio lost.

his local paper has him losing 3 to 1 in votes
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Did the Personhood Initiative deal with the issue of twins?

The issue being that identical twins split after conception. Do they share personhood? If one can aquire personhood after conception, can a flesh golem or frankensteins monster be a person?

Why would it?  It's not even law.
