(ColoradoForEqualRights.com) November 13, 2007 - After weeks of review, the Colorado Supreme Court has just released a decision granting Colorado for Equal Rights permission to move forward with a ballot initiative to restore personhood to human beings from the moment of conception.
Colorado for Equal Rights will now begin gathering the 76,000 signatures required to put this issue on the November Ballot. This Constitutional Amendment will redefine the term "Person" in three parts of the Colorado Constitution.
Despite two unanimous votes from the Title Board, the petition was appealed based on claims that it dealt with more than one issue. The Colorado Supreme Court affirmed that the petition was, indeed, a single-subject issue and affirmed previous rulings by the Title Board. "We fully expected this positive decision from the Colorado Supreme Court. We are pleased that they supported the Title Board’s previous decisions, and plans to begin our petition drive are underway," stated Kristi Burton, spokesperson of Colorado for Equal Rights.
