Colorado Fetal Personhood, Amendment 62 (2010)
*
An amendment to the Colorado Constitution applying the term ‘person’ as used in those provisions of the Colorado Constitution relating to inalienable rights, equality of justice and due process of law, to every human being from the beginning of the biological development of that human being.
Personhood for babies in the womb… what a concept?
**Colorado was the first state to legalize abortion in the nation.
**Colorado will now have the chance to become the first state in
** the nation to completely outlaw abortion.
This will be the first time “personhood” has been granted to babies in the womb
as the foundation of an anti-abortion law. Even pro-abortion judges admit this
would make it impossible to defeat.
It truly is a tough law to like, I would prefer to live in a world where abortion is unnecessary, unfortunately the alternative is the subjugation of women, especially when that woman has been violated. No one should be forced to carry a fetus to full term under conditions of rape.
Since abortion is something far outside my day-to-day experiences probably not, addressing war, poverty & healthcare are much higher on my list and unfortunately candidates who support these issues are by-and-large pro-choice.
Everyone prioritizes, abortion is of little priority to me especially when you take into account that repealing Rowe Vs. Wade is about as big a longshot you can imagine. Ending the wars, promoting healthcare and addressing poverty are my main political priorities, find me a candidate who is willing to fight for those things first and is pro-life too, and I’ll not only vote for them I’ll campaign for them also.
