Montana: Proposed Const'l Amendment to Define Embryos As Persons Fails to Qualify for Ballot

Missoulian: Abortion ban fails to qualify for ballot, opponents say, by Jennifer McKee:

Opponents of an proposed constitutional amendment to ban abortion by defining a fertilized human egg as a “person” announced Tuesday the measure has failed to gain enough support to qualify for the November ballot.

Constitutional Initiative 100 would have changed the constitution to define a “person” as a fertilized egg and conferred to them all the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
