Coming to Colorado: Personhood for Frozen Embryos!

[JennyD]

In 2008, a Colorado ballot initiative (Amendment 48) to give personhood to any fertilized human egg was defeated by voters 3 to 1. In 2009, it’s back, and subtler than ever.

Why is it back? Can’t they take "We hate God and babies" for an answer?

Supporters have realized it was voted down because people visualized chicken eggs.

The deceptively simple language of Proposition #25 hides Godly intent. It will amend the Colorado state Constitution as follows:

. . . the term “person” shall apply to every human being from the beginning of the biological development of that human being.

That doesn’t sound like it will help much. Can't they do more?

Let’s consider who, by this proposal, is treated as a “person” with legal right to due process under the law:

• A fertilized egg, from the instant of conception
• A frozen embryo at an In-Vitro Fertilization clinic

So, what does this mean? What’s the result?

• Intra-Uterine Devices (IUDs) illegal! They function by preventing an embryo from attaching to the uterus. Homicide!
• Emergency “morning after” contraception (RU486) illegal! Even in cases of rape or incest. Homicide!
• Oral contraceptives illegal! The “Pill“, a combination of estrogen and progesterone, works in part by impacts to the lining of the uterus, making implantation more difficult. Homicide!
• Disposing of excess frozen embryos at IVF clinics illegal! Mass homicide!
• Abortion under any circumstances, even in the case of saving the mother’s life, illegal! Both doctor and patient would be guilty of homicide!

Christian and other pro-life advocates are gearing up to begin gathering signatures to put Proposition #25 on the ballot in Colorado. Are you ready?

Sounds like this will encourage expectant mothers to take better care of themselves as well, since miscariage or stillbirth could result in murder charges.

And all of those neglected frozen little babies can finally get thawed out and sent to good homes. Won't that be a Godly day!
