Amendment 48 trails by 41 points in poll
Measure would define fertilized egg as a person

Amendment 48 is getting clobbered by more than a 2-to-1 ratio, making it unlikely that Colorado will become the first state in the nation to grant constitutional rights to a fertilized egg.

Now, Colorado has been a "red" state for a while and they were one a few to pass an amendment (later repealed) against gay marriage. It is a "battleground" state that may be important next week. Just two days ago, over 100,000 people came out to see Obama here and he didn't fail to inspire.

The issue of amendment 48 is one worthy of discussion of course. It seems as if the conversation would be one sided in Colorado if you went by the poll.

Hello. As an update to my previous post that obviously gained so much attention, Amendment 48, which defines "Personhood" got blasted by a 3-1 margin last night - not to mention Colorado was an expected but still nice win for Obama.

amendment 48
"Personhood" push rejected
The amendment called for full legal rights from the point of conception. Foes saw a Pandora's box.

Colorado for Equal Rights and other supporters of Amendment 48 said it would make Colorado the first state to guarantee the pre-born equal rights to life, liberty and due process of law.

The amendment, they said, would provide the legal foundation for ending abortion.
