Colorado Supreme Court Gives Green Light to Restore Personhood to the Unborn

Source: Christian Newswire

DENVER, Colorado, November 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- After weeks of review, the Colorado Supreme Court has just released a decision granting Colorado for Equal Rights permission to move forward with a ballot initiative to restore personhood to human beings from the moment of conception.

Presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes, along with American Life League Founder Judie Brown, will speak about the necessity of such an initiative.

Colorado for Equal Rights will now begin gathering the 76,000 signatures required to put this issue on the November Ballot. This Constitutional Amendment will redefine the term "Person" in three parts of the Colorado Constitution to mean from the moment of fertilization.

Despite two unanimous votes from the Title Board, the petition was appealed based on claims that it dealt with more than one issue. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the petition was, indeed, a single-subject issue and affirmed previous rulings by the Title Board.

That's all I've got to say.

Restore the status of women to ambulatory flowerpots with no right to life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness.

What's that? What's a 'woman?' Oh, she's an expendible conveyance machine.
Amen. God be praised. Hellish-luia.

sounds more scary than 'the fog'...

Doubt whether ABC or Dreamworks would touch it though.

AXLOTL TANK:

An axlotl tank is essentially a brain-dead woman whose womb is used as a tank to create gholas.

I wonder if parents' can count the fetus as a tax deduction. I'd love to know how many pregnant women are killed each year? I know many are abused. It's a pretty high rate for something you wouldn't dream of. I wonder if an abuser can be charged with threatening the fetus, he beats up a pregnant wife or girlfriend. If you kill a pregnant women in a car accident, do you get charged with 2 murders, if the fetus dies as well? This reminds me of the Hate Crime Bill, that the Republicans, seem to freak out about. They don't get why there would be an extra penalty for the racist intent, ie you couldn't give the perpetrator more than one death sentence. Please ignore all bull shit I just wrote, it's just me thinking out loud. Everybody knows this is a way to erode a woman's right to an abortion, by making it a murder, of a live person. Birth control is one last bastion of womens right to control her own body. I truly believe that Religion, should just keep it's big nose out of the legal system. If the unborn were living breathing persons it would have been deemed so a long time ago. How can it be that people were smarter 100's of years ago, than they are now????

I wish they had as much concern for the millions of actual living people. But what do you expect from the right?

Their take is if you are poor ---- you are lazy

"Life begins at conception and ends at birth"

caviar ? :shrug:

How do they propose to do that? Back again to the Tampon Patrol?

How about instead they move forward with a ballot initiative to restore personhood to the Iraqi people and other citizens of foreign sovereign nations as being living breathing human beings with real rights to life?

Now THAT would be "pro-life".

anything more and I'd die of a stroke.

and they return home to France, when the child is born in say Paris, is the kid now an American citizen?

Wait for the fallout from miscarriages that will now become manslaughter cases.

It's obvious that he/she has no visible means of support.

vote in Colorado next November. I wonder if this will pass? I don't think it will, really - the whackjob right has lost a lot of power in CO these last couple of years. It could have an effect on the Presidential election, however. Which is probably the whole point.

which I'm assuming it will.

this ballot initiative makes me absolutely sick

has to acknowledge that a fetus with brainwaves that can be recorded(at around 6 weeks), and a heartbeat(at around week 4) is much more then just a "zygote" or "cluster of cells". In my opinion, ignoring science on this subject is tantamount to ignoring the science on subjects like climate change. Science shouldn't be cherry picked depending on the issue. That being said, I disagree with applying

BTW, can I assume you're vegan? Cows, pigs, chickens etc all have brainwaves and heartbeats.

:rofl:
I'd like to think I can tell the difference between satire and serious, but I really have trouble sometimes. I'm assuming you're serious.

I read your post a second time, and I can see your point, a little bit. It's very true that there is a gradual progression of fetal development, and there does reach a point in development where the fetus is close to being a recognizable infant.

Science also tells us that the fetus is not able to survive outside the mother's body, up to a certain point in development.

is worse than a turd in a punch bowl.

The CO Supreme Court is a fairly liberal court, with 5 of the 7 judges having been appointed by Democratic Governors.

This is a decision on the legality of placing this issue on the ballot - it does not endorse the issue.

Or Allen Keyes.

:rofl:

I wonder how the vote will go...

what's their next project, legalizing gay marriage? No? Didn't think so. Bunch of hypocrites.

A women's right to self-determination over her body trumps any supposed right to life for a fetus. Once it leaves the womb, it's an entity that can be cared for by another person. But up to that point, the woman carrying the fetus is the one who has the first and last say on what goes on with her body, and that includes abortion. Sorry, fundies. You can't call it "Equal rights" if you take away one-half the population's fundamental right of body integrity.

What about equal rights for Alan Keyes' Lesbian daughter, the one he kicked out of the house and out of his family?

"Dr." Alan Keyes? What does he have a doctorate in? Fundy bullshit? Oh, well, * has a masters degree, too.

Quite a bit of information came out about his background when he ran against Obama for senator from Illinois.

I remember all the business about the death threats, too.

I'm thinking about having 100 children. Can I get a full tax credit for each of my pre-conceived?

They're all potential humans after all, with cloning and whatnot.

If someone's against abortion, and reasonably argues their point, I respect that. I can't respect shenanigans like this. It's like arguing how many angels dance on the head of a pin.

grant "personhood" to the unborn only on the condition that "personhood" is stripped from corporations....

Before that you can't even run for President, so you are not a full-fledged Person.

all those snowflake 'persons' that get thrown out - I somehow doubt that would go over very well.

Pregnant women will be prosecuted for reckless endangerment and be imprisoned to protect the unborn.

All this decision does is give the fundies the ability to go forward with gathering signatures.

arresting men who are wasting sperm and women who are menstrating.

is canvas the springs,G.J. and Weld county... plenty of religious pinheads there. We will be voting on it.
