Civil rights for the preborn *PING*
>that would allow voters to extend the U.S. Constitution’s protections to those who haven’t been born yet, something supporters say the U.S. founders intended all along.
This is simply miscommunication.
They are defining “people” in a manner that may allow the law to protect the unborn “people.”
I suspect that it will not pass SCOTUS muster, but I sure hope that I am wrong.
Doesn’t it require 176,000 signatures to make the ballot?
I congratulate my fellow 130,999 Coloradans who signed the petition to stop the killings.
50 million dead from abortion on demand -— enough already.
Great idea.
I am sure pregnant Illegal Aliens in Colorado will appreciate that their yet to be born babies have been granted Constitutional Protections.
But I question one of the key statements in this article:
> ... extend the U.S. Constitution's protections to those who haven't been born yet, something supporters say the U.S. founders intended all along...Does anyone, the author, the 130K Coloradans, Ms. Burton, yourself, anyone, have any actual written evidence from the Founders (documents, letters, etc.) to support this curious contention that the Founders intended to, but somehow "forgot" to, include Constitutional protection of the unborn?
The Founders wrote voluminously on all matter of topics regarding the Constitution of the new Nation, and argued vociferously on all points concerning the proper role of the new Government they were creating. Reading the documents and letters from that period is a huge undertaking, one I recommend to all freedom-loving Americans. It's inspiring stuff. They thought of, and discussed, just about everything.
So I find it hard to believe that they would have left something so important out, if they "intended all along" to include it. So my own belief is that they in fact did not want the Government interfering in people's personal decisions at that level. But that's my own belief, others believe otherwise.
Nevertheless, I'm sure someone of these folks has links to specific statements in the Founders' writings which support their contention. Please post them. Thanks.
Looks pretty plain to me.
It amazes me as a modern society we still allow abortion to take place. You will never hear this on TV, but during many abortions the “fetus” actually pulls away and trys to avoid the doctors needles or blade. This sign in a patient in a coma would be very good news and indicate some level of high brain function.
