Anti Choice Amendment Defeated in Colorado

[scribblet]

Fortunately for women, Colorado voters soundly defeated the dangerous anti-choice amendment for second time. Amendment 62. The ramifcations of this bill and consequences if passed are alarming.

The unintended legal and societal ramifications are equally alarming, since a fertilized egg would have the same rights as a newborn baby, including property ownership and inheritance rights.

Amendment 62 would make all abortions illegal, as well as many forms of birth control, contraceptives and fertility procedures currently used for family planning by responsible adults.

Even a miscarriage could make the woman and her doctor murder suspects. The minor irony is that supporters of this amendment who generally favor smaller government want to make the state of Colorado responsible for monitoring all pregnancies and accounting for all fertilized eggs in any fertility clinic used by Colorado residents anywhere in the world.

From what I've read, even a lot of pro-lifers were against this amendment.
