Newsweek Examines Anti-Choice Legislative Strategy

Yesterday, Newsweek.com featured an article about the efforts of abortion opponents to put “personhood” initiatives on ballots across the country. Led by the new anti-choice organization Personhood USA, these initiatives aim to revise state constitutions to define a fertilized egg as a person. Seven state-level groups are currently gathering signatures for 2010 ballots.

A similar amendment was strongly defeated by Colorado voters in 2008.
