Supporters of Colorado Embryonic Personhood Amendment Challenge State's Legislative Analysis

Medical News Today: Supporters Of Colo. 'Personhood' Amendment File Lawsuit Against State:

On Tuesday, supporters of a Colorado ballot initiative that would grant rights to fertilized eggs filed a lawsuit against the state for what they allege is a "biased" analysis of their initiative, the Denver Daily News reports. The analysis in question is published in the state Legislative Council's Blue Book, which provides voters with analyses of ballot initiatives before elections (Marcus, Denver Daily News, 9/22).

The ballot initiative, called Amendment 62, would change the state constitution to say that rights of citizens are granted from the "beginning of biological development." Groups opposed to the measure say the change would ban abortion services, as well as some forms of birth control and fertility treatments (AP/CBS4, 9/21). . . .
