The personhood fiasco failed in Alabama, and in Colorado (twice). It is vastly unpopular, which is why they’re doing this in the statehouse, not as a referendum. They had the opportunity to add a Democratic amendment saying that it wouldn’t block contraception, and the GOP turned that down. Birth control will become illegal in Virginia, and will bring down the Republican party. I’d say “maybe they’ll learn,” but I’ve seen no indication of abilities of that kind lately.
