Please help defeat Colorado Amendment 48, which you may know as the "personhood" amendment. Amendment 48 would define the term person to include a fertilized egg in our state constitution.

A narrow minority with an extreme political agenda is pushing this amendment, the first of its kind in the country.  It threatens quality health care and patient privacy.

It is hard to believe, but Amendment 48 would actually change Colorado's constitution to deny women access to things like birth control, in-vitro fertilization, as well as banning all abortions, even for rape and incest victims or to save the life of the woman.

That's why the Denver Post has already called Amendment 48 "absurd". You'd think most Coloradans will see how ridiculous Amendment 48 is, but we can't take any chances. It'll take all of us working together to defeat it. Start by adding your name to the petition opposing Amendment 48.

We need your help to defeat Amendment 48. We need your help to protect a family's right to make personal, private life decisions. We need your help to keep the government, lawyers and courts from intruding in our health care choices-like birth control, in vitro fertilization, and abortion.  Please sign the pledge below to demonstrate your opposition to Amendment 48.

I BELIEVE that a woman should have the right to make decisions about her own health care with her doctor and family without government intrusion;

I OPPOSE unnecessary risks to and undue burdens on people seeking health care;

I OPPOSE using the constitution to deny health care to women and their families and in such a way to have sweeping consequences for the people of the state of Colorado;
