The Colorado Right to Life people set the standards for the rest of us. It was written up in Time. This is their latest, taken from the post by Lesforlife above.

If Colorado for Equal Rights for Human Life and other anti-abortion groups can wrangle 76,000 signatures in the next six months, theirs could be the first state in the nation to vote on whether a fertilized egg should legally be considered a person.

Call it a baby and it becomes murder. Yup, I guess I have it straight now.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas laws allow the killing of a fetus to be prosecuted as murder, regardless of the fetus' stage of development, but they do not apply to abortions, the state's highest criminal court has ruled...............
