This is why anti-choicers will never make any significant progress -- extremism:
This kind of move loses the moderates, and when the moderates are lost anti-choicers are left in a very lonely place, one with (thankfully) little influence. But whatever, carry on.
"DENVER - Opening a new front in their assault on abortion, activists in half a dozen states are preparing ballot referendums that would grant "personhood" and constitutional rights to embryos from the moment of conception." [...]When they're having so much trouble even getting such recognition for a 6-month fetus, you have to wonder what makes them think it will be any easier to get it for this guy:
"The new strategy takes an idea that has been central to the pro-life movement -- that human life begins when an egg is fertilized -- and makes it the centerpiece of state efforts to overturn women's legal right to an abortion. If the embryo is declared a person under a state's constitution, the reasoning goes, the termination of its existence must be considered murder."
