COLORADO SPRINGS — Abortion opponents in Colorado want to try again to pass an amendment giving human rights to embryos.
Colorado Right to Life and Personhood USA say they will submit a new initiative Thursday to the Colorado Legislative Council in hopes of getting the measure on 2010 ballots.
Last year, Colorado voted 3-to-1 against a similar measure to define fertilized human embryos as people in the state constitution. Abortion opponents have tried and failed to put similar "personhood" amendments to voters in Georgia and Oregon, and North Dakota's legislature recently rejected a "personhood" bill.
Abortion opponents say they think they'll fare better next year in Colorado with better funding and a new campaign strategy.
