More On The Cloning Bill, Missouri's Amendment 2

Missouri Roundtable for Life notes that we can't even foresee all the problems this amendment will create:

The length and complexity of the proposed initiative ensures that it will change the Missouri Constitution in ways unrelated to cloning and unforeseen by the voters. The Secretary of State here lists at least 45 specific sections of the Constitution that may be altered by this proposed amendment. The true extent of these changes will not be known by Missouri citizens until they are litigated in the courts. For this reason alone, the proposed amendment should be rejected.

They properly note that it would be more appropriate to call this the "Human Embryo Cloning and Destruction Initiative."

Tom Hanna, of Tom Rants fame, has this to say:

Some sections of this proposal might be desirable as statute law. The total package is some of the worst legislative sausage ever made. The language is so misleading that it is either purposefully misleading or written by idiots. Whether it’s the work of liars or the work of idiots, it shouldn’t be enshrined in the state Constitution.
