HELENA – The Montana Pro Life Coalition on Wednesday submitted three proposed constitutional initiatives for the 2010 ballot defining embryos and fetuses as persons with rights, measures that if passed and upheld in courts would effectively ban abortion in Montana.
Each proposal would define a person as a human being from the beginning of the biological development of that human.
“The language of the personhood amendment proclaims what most people already know, which is that human life begins at conception and that all human beings are persons,” Dr. Annie Bukacek, a Kalispell internist, told a rally of about 50 people on the Capitol steps. Source Article
