And the ignorant keep pushing their agenda....

Fundamentalists on the attack Nationwide-are now going after birth control & in-vitro fertilization. Your action is needed.

This past weekend, social extremists from all 50 states held a conference in Las Vegas to strategize and raise resources to promote the deceptively named "personhood" agenda. They already have well organized efforts in 20 states and have started collecting signatures for ballot petition drives in Colorado, Mississippi, Oregon and Montana.

Through ballot initiatives and state legislation, the extremists will promote "personhood" which would change existing law to include that a fertilized egg has the same rights as a human being.

The passage of a personhood measure would be a direct attack on millions of families nationwide, including yours. The ramifications that would come of such a vast legal change are frighteningly ambiguous and these extremists are certainly not telling the full story. They are promoting personhood as "equal rights" for fetuses, but that could not be farther from the truth.

If personhood is passed in just one state expect that it will...
...lock that state Constitution into unwarranted big government control.
...outlaw the most effective forms of birth control used by millions of women and families.
...make it illegal for victims of rape and incest, and women who face a life-threatening pregnancy to seek an abortion.
...criminalize in-vitro fertilization along with its potential to create life.
...women who miscarry could be investigated for negligence.
...women who face an ectopic pregnancy cannot end the pregnancy and risk death.
...be a direct challenge to the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

The loopholes in their language are so vague that it could actually lead to pregnant women being subject to a court appointed guardian for their fertilized egg who would regulate the woman's lifestyle choices, i.e., eating habits, exercises, etc.

Their attempts to use the political system to push their own religious beliefs on our country have been stalled in Congress and; as a result, they are taking their fight directly to the state level.

Enough is enough--don't sit silently by and assume that your rights will be protected. Don't allow the GOP to be pulled into this misguided effort. We need to make sure that our GOP state parties and local chairs do not coordinate with these extremists. We cannot have personhood be part of local agendas if the common sense majority in the GOP wants to have a voice in 2010. These single-issue fundamentalists must not be allowed to manipulate state Constitutions and persuade GOP leaders to mindlessly follow along.
