This should be fun. I am addressing this here so everyone can state their say. It is amazing to see how strongly one can feel either way. So take a peek at these links and let me know what you think.
The jist? Colorado wants to declare personhood at the time of conception. There are so many examples, I don't have time to list them here. I just thought this might be a fun topic to put out there. One of the links references North Dakota trying to do the same thing. Two years ago, Colorado did not pass it and it is on the ballot again this year.
My opinion (which y'all can flame, no hard feelings) is that I do not and will not be voting for this amendment to pass. Taking away the right for a woman to make a choice (among other issues--abortion is NOT the only thing this personhood act would affect...) is just not right in my mind. HOWEVER, I am prolife. There. Annnndd GO!
Re: Colorado Personhood Act...
I am staunchly pro choice and believe that as a woman the government has no say in my right to choose.
That said, I find this amendment archaic and barbaric. Aside from abortion, it also affects in vitro fertilization and stem cell research.
I feel the same! I wonder if they would investigate women who had miscarriages.
This. This is act unconstitutional.
Eh. Colorado is full of crazies, but thankfully they are out-numbered by rational folks. This has been attempted before and failed; I expect it to fail again.
Don't forget that Colorado is home to Focus on the Family and all the other mega-churches.
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
If you only belive in abortion when the mother is raped or in cases of incest then you are not 100% pro choice.
Actually, if you want to get technical, she states that women should do as they please with their bodies. What she is not 100% about is that a baby is human from conception, because if it is rape or incest then the baby is evidently not a human from conception. Only under ideal circumstances.
You're right. The contradiction was she was 100% pro choice and 100% prolife. I gues she is trying to say she wouldn't do it but supports other who do?
I have a good working knowledge of the consitution and it clearly states that all people are created equal. The unborn are the only ones among us who are innocent (well except for the whole origianl sin thing but baptism will wash the sin right out of that baby)
The unborn are innocent and have no legal representationa and need our help to save them!!!
Is this Alice or Tara?
I belong to Focus on the Family and I am completely rational.
Sorry for the confusion. I would never have an abortion. But I support women who choose to. I said that the government, all the people trying to outlaw abortion should consider cases like rape and incest when they make their decision. I believe regardless of any womans reasoning it is their choice. I just put those two situations in there to say that they need to think about all situations before jumping. Do you understand where I am coming from?
Ah! Then you're against the amendment!
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
somehow I think that now you are going to make people that listen to Focus on the Family seem like complete idiots (which many are not)
