Colorado: one step closer to outlawing abortion (and contraception?)

[MH1]

Yikes. Anyone from CO want to weigh in on this? If they get enough petition sigs, does it go on the primary ballot or the general election ballot? This will bring fundies to the polls in droves - regardless who's on the pres ticket.

"Personhood" initiative wins Colo. court nod

The Colorado Supreme Court today released a decision giving proponents the go-ahead for a ballot initiative that would amend the state Constitution in 2008 to define personhood as a fertilized egg.

.....

The measure, if approved by voters, would extend constitutional protection from the moment of conception with regard to rights of life, liberty, equality of justice and due process of law.

.....

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains is one of the reproductive-rights groups opposing the measure, which it said in a statement would have sweeping consequences for women using contraception to prevent pregnancy as well as for couples using in-vitro fertilization to start families.
