November 2008 Election Historic for Pro-Life Movement

Because it's a presidential year?  No.  Because of a particular congressional race?  Well, perhaps some of them might prove to be interesting, but not that either.  Because voters in the state of Colorado, the first state to liberalize abortion laws before Roe vs. Wade, will be the first of any state to vote on defining "personhood" and when it begins.  Why is that important?  Watch this video and pay particularly close attention to the discussion between Justice Potter Stewart and Attorney Sarah Weddington who represented Roe in Roe vs. Wade.   

Colorado for Equal Rights Personhood Amendment from Personhood USA on Vimeo.

I'm suddenly reminded of one of the "principles" (more like verbal gymnastics) of Mainstream Republicans of Washington:

We value life and seek to protect it - We should not attempt to legislate a definition of life.

Well, yes we should.  How else will we know who is protected by the law?  They know this is an attempt to sidestep the issue, their organization being full of lawyers and experienced politicians, several of them instrumental at liberalizing our own state's abortion laws pre-Roe. 

Kudos to Kristi Burton, who is showing courageous leadership at such a very young age, and to all in Colorado who have worked to get the personhood amendment on the ballot.  Many of us will be watching and praying for Colorado, and ready to follow in their footsteps.  You have set the example for us all!
