Video Supporting Colorado Embryonic Personhood Amendment Equates Obama with Angel of Death
RH Reality Check: Anti-Choice-Tea Party Video on Amendment 62 Full of Lies, Distortions and Grotesquery, by Jodi Jacobson:
I am long past the point of hoping for some semblance of truth from the anti-woman, anti-life, anti-choice movement. Still, the length to which they use blatant lies and distortions--and the failure of most media outlets to call them on it--remains breathtaking.
The most recent example is a video circulating on Amendment 62, the so-called Personhood Amendment on the ballot in Colorado, which seeks to imbue fertilized eggs with the same rights as living, breathing, born human beings.
A similar referendum effort failed in 2008.
Now, it appears, with an infusion of "tea party" money from who knows where, anti-choice forces are pulling out all the stops, including the video which spreads additional lies, references Nazi Germany, and features grotesque caricatures of President Obama as the angel of death and as the Joker from Batman.
