Colorado for Inaccuracy and Irrelevance
Published by punkass marc July 6th, 2007 in Bodily Autonomy, Reproductive RightsAn alarming amendment to the state constitution is gaining a tiny bit of traction in Colorado. This is the language proposed by the group Colorado for Equal Rights:
As used in Article 2, Section 3, 6, and 25 of the Colorado Constitution, the words “person” and “persons” shall include any human being from the moment of fertilization.
They’ve already had a meeting with the Legislative Council and have a meeting with Colorado’s Secretary of State scheduled for July 18th. That meeting will determine what the amendment will be called on the November 2008 ballot.
Just thought you should know.
I wonder how they are going to date the birth certificates.
If this passes, then the Colorado courts and going to have a great couple of decades hammering out the details from all the unintended consequences of such batshit insanity.
Since half of fertilized eggs don’t result in pregnancy and simply pass in menstruation, how will they account for all the “persons” lost? And what do they intend to do with women who miscarry?

Answer to all these problems: Legal sex may be performed ONLY in a carefully prepared clinical setting. The “pre-pregnant” woman will then be monitored via RFID and GPS. She must periodically check in with with her Pregnancy Probation Officer who will determine if and when she become pregnant and monitor any resulting pregnancy to ensure the interests of the fetus and the state are upheld.
Any violation of this protocol will be grounds for imprisonment and/or execution…
The terrible and gleaming maw of Gilead awaits…
Amanda,
Prosecute, of course!
One of the results of this will probably be that the 2% of women who experience ectopic pregnancy will be charged with murder post mortem.
How are they going to date the birth certificates? Hmmm…I don’t know–maybe at birth? I think that’s why it’s called a “birth certificate”, not a “conception certificate”.
