1. other points about the lies...
I'm not even touching the "...and some women will even die" - but:

"The majority of these eggs will most likely come from poor college students who will sell them for research."

The amendment specifically BANS buying and selling of human eggs. ALL human eggs used MUST be voluntarily donated.


"It grants public money for private profit"

The hypocrisy of this one from the Repubs is galling...


"It is funded by elites: One wealthy couple has contributed 95% of
the funding"

This is true(sort of)...one couple, both CANCER SURVIVORS donated about $24 million to a cause they believe in.


Here is the full text of the proposed amendment:
