Today, July 1 Montana will launch a new personhood campaign. On
Thursday, July 2 Colorado will launch their personhood campaign. Both
have the goal of protecting every child by love and by law.
Montana and Colorado will join Oregon and Mississippi in gathering
signatures for a citizens' initiative to affirm the personhood rights
of all humans. Several more states plan to launch later in 2009.
Montana State Representative Wendy Warburton, working with the Montana
Pro Life Coalition and Personhood USA to organize the effort in
Montana, said, "This effort is about loving mothers, loving babies, and
building a society where every single one of us is valued, no matter
how young."
Warburton, the Montana Pro Life Coalition and other supporters of
Montana's initiative will hold a rally on the steps of Montana's state
capitol on Wednesday, July 1 at 9:00 AM.
On July 2, Colorado Right to Life and Personhood USA will introduce a
similar amendment for Colorado's constitution. A Press Conference will
be held Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Colorado State Capitol
in front of the west steps.
Keith Mason of Personhood USA said, "This question should have been
settled in 1865. There should be no 'three-fifths of a person' – not in
Montana, not in Colorado, not anywhere. All humans are people."
Dr. Annie Bukacek, President of the Montana Pro Life Coalition, said,
"Based on their intrinsic value and dignity, every human being, from
the moment life begins, deserves equal protection under the law. This
is the principle of personhood. It's high time the people of Montana
had an opportunity to vote on this fundamental human rights issue."
