Nattering nabobs of negativity!


WHEREAS, many pro-life citizens have become frustrated in their attempts to re-criminalize abortion since it was made legal in Colorado 43 years ago and in all 50 states 37 years ago; and

WHEREAS, one attempt to re-criminalize abortion is by introduction of citizen initiatives called "Personhood Amendments," which would purport to establish the fact that unborn babies are "persons" under the law and would therefore have protection under the U.S. Constitution; and

WHEREAS, this tactic has been thoroughly studied by the most knowledgeable and experienced legal experts of several pro-life organizations, including the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; National Right to Life Committee; Eagle Forum; and Americans United for Life, a Chicago-based lawyers group and the oldest pro-life organization in the nation; and

WHEREAS, almost without exception, these legal experts warn that if such initiatives pass, they will certainly be challenged in the courts and, given the present make-up of the state and federal courts, they will be overturned, thus having diverted considerable time, effort, and resources on the part of the pro-life movement; and

WHEREAS, these same legal experts further warn that court rulings against such measures could also do more harm by more firmly entrenching the "non-personhood" status of unborn babies, thus having the opposite effect of the proponents of the initiatives; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the ____________ County Republican Party commend the intentions of those who wish to re-criminalize abortion, but urge such individuals and groups to reconsider their tactics in attempting to do so until enough state and federal officials are elected who will appoint and approve more judges who respect the value of human life; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the ____________ County Republican Party not divert its efforts to restore Republican values to American government and society by expending resources in support of the "Personhood Amendment" now being promoted in Colorado.

Now here's a resolution which will bear fruit!!


WHEREAS, murdering the unborn is no different than murdering the already born; and

WHEREAS, God’s 6th Commandment states “Do not murder” period; now therefore be it

RESOLVED, that we will fight for the passage of Amendment 62 with every resource at our disposal, including the Blessing of Almighty God, to declare in the Colorado Constitution that the unborn are persons, from the beginning of their biological development, in order that their lives would be protected by love and by law.

Woo Hoo - Amendment 62! Colorado Personhood amendment makes 2010 ballot

With deep gratitude to everyone who made it happen! The babies thank you!!!

Where are the hate speech patrols?


Seth MacFarlane marked the five-year-anniversary of Terri Schiavo's court-ordered death by staging a preschool musical about it in his crass FOX cartoon, "Family Guy."
MacFarlane denied Schiavo human dignity in the March 21 episode by referring to her in lyrics sung by cartoon preschoolers as "the most expensive plant you'll ever see" and a "vegetable," and noted "her mashed potato brains."

The child who played the role of Schiavo's husband, Michael, ultimately concluded, "There's only one solution, it's in the Constitution, we've got to pull the plug."

Dear Ms. Berman,

As an individual who spent most of March 2005 in front of Hospice Woodside, where Terri Schiavo was murdered, I cannot
tell you how ashamed I am of Fox Broadcasting for allowing your recent Family Guy episode, mocking a disabled woman, to assault your viewers. What cultural filth!

My 2 books of photos taken there show the real truth about those who came to oppose Terri's judicial execution. My photo essay captured the hundreds, if not thousands of people who fought valiantly to save Terri's life. Do you really want to mock them, for their noble sacrifice on behalf of an innocent woman who was being starved and dehydrated during Holy Week?

How ironic that Fox News prides itself on being "fair and balanced." If you think it is fair to defame a brain damaged woman and cause further pain to her remaining loved ones, I'm appalled beyond words.

I've always championed Fox as above the bias of mainstream media but I now plan to do everything possible to bring attention to this despicable trash and the program's sponsors.

Our culture is descending rapidly into the sewer and this kind of ugly and mean spirited programing is leading the way to an America where no one is truly safe and where those of us who seek to protect innocent lives will not want to live.

Fox Broadcasting has sunk to lows I never could have anticipated.

The case for Roe collapses!


'Personhood' to be theme at 2010 Roe anniversary

Blackmun: If this is established, abortion 'rights' would, of course, 'collapse'

At the annual March for Life Jan. 22, pro-life groups will use the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to raise the profile of "personhood."


The term is used by a movement in state legislatures to define unborn babies as persons, affording them the same guaranteed right to life as all other Americans.

Probably the first definitive statement on the idea came from Justice Harry Blackmun, who wrote the majority opinion for Roe v. Wade, when he said: "The appellee and certain amici [pro-lifers] argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well-known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment."

Personhood Colorado 2010's Co-sponsor, Gualberto Garcia Jones, Youtube video brings to life the oral arguments phase of the actual Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision.

This year's March for Life events around the country are guaranteed to bring hope to a nation weary of over 40 years of destroying innocent lives - hope for the first time that, "abortion might end in my lifetime."

"Why I Can't Wait" - Elegant Defense of the black child in the womb



Pastor Walter Hoye writes the most compelling case for ending abortion written in years in
this essay, addressing the naysayers about the rapidly growing Personhood Movement. Launched in Colorado with Kristi Burton's Amendment 48 citizen's initiative to legally protect the baby in the womb, from the beginning of that child's biological development, now over 40 states are pursuing similar efforts to end legalized child killing.

Co-sponsor of the California Personhood initiative along with the indomitable Lila Rose of Live Action, he has also founded the California Civil Rights Foundation.



Expect to see more of this cultural warrior, who recently served some time in prison for witnessing to women about to end the lives of their growing, developing, pre-born babies. His powerful witness for black americans will deservedly rock our nation!

When a new human life begins! An expert speaks.




How quickly does this fusion between sperm and egg take place?

It’s a very rapid event. In less than a second, an entirely new human cell comes into existence. This new human cell (known as a zygote) has a unique molecular composition that’s distinct from either the sperm or the egg. And its behavior also differs radically from that of either sperm or egg.


In what way?

Well, for example, the zygote’s first act is to change its composition so no other sperm can bind to its surface. This happens within the first 30 minutes following sperm-egg fusion.


So you’re saying this little single cell biologically acts as a coordinated whole “in its own interest,” so to speak?

I would say that even at the one-cell stage, the zygote is directing its own development. About five or six days later, at about the time of implantation, the embryo produces a hormone that can be detected in the mother’s blood or urine to tell her she’s pregnant.

Personhood 2010 Wows the Colorado State Fair





The state of Colorado has been at the center of the abortion war on the pre-born since April 1967, when Dick Lamm's legislation was signed into law by Republican Governor, John Love.

In 2008, we became the first state to carry a citizen's initiative - Amendment 48 to establish the personhood of the pre-born and protect each baby in his or her mommy's womb.

Though the media described our loss as a serious trouncing, since that defeat, over 20 other states are running similar measures - either in their legislatures or put on ballots by citizens tired of waiting for their elected officials to do the right thing.

Not content to take a few years off to lick our wounds, we are back again and in full steam ahead mode.

August 25, we had a press conference where we mailed 1,000 petitions to previous individuals who helped get us on the ballot last time - collecting nearly double the amount necessary.


This week a stellar team of volunteers, including one little pro-life dynamo Emma, ( who takes after her Daddy Keith Mason ) is gathering signatures at a record pace. Emma's charm inspired 100 fair goers to sign up in 1 hour to put our measure on the ballot for 2010. She'll be a tough one to beat!

If you live in Colorado and care enough about the babies to get involved in the battle of our generation,we'd love to see you in Pueblo this weekend. Come down and get your petition, work a few hours and then enjoy the fun, food and music.

Yes we are our brother's keeper!

If you don't live in Colorado but know someone who does, let them know how much they are needed!
