If Coloradans pass this measure, it will be the second time I can truly say I'm ashamed to be a native (the first one being Amendment 1 back in the 80's, but thank goodness that was proven to be unconstitutional, as I think this one surely would be too, eventually). I can only say that I am appalled that a naive 20-year old could bring forth such a movement to discriminate so boldly against women. I pity her.kepari2Mon, 09 Jun 2008 05:09:28 -0000http://www.coloradoindependent.com/4215/origins-of-personhood-the-moral-precedent-of-conception-religion-and-the-law/#comment-1678508Thank you for this excellent column. It is good to hear the viewpoints of esteemed religious leaders.<br><br>I tend to think of it as a women's rights issue, because that's who it concerns, women... women who could very well die having a miscarriage if this law is enacted. Women who would become mere breeding sows and 2nd class citizens.<br><br>But it is apparent that this law also violates the religious freedoms of others who are also sincere in their religion. If we enact a law saying one religious viewpoint trumps all others, we are in grave danger of eliminating the religious freedom this country stands for.<br><br>How is that any different than Hitler?wildflowerSat, 31 May 2008 10:56:51 -0000
