Las Vegas Sun: Four groups that for more than 30 years have fought for anti-abortion legislation say they are opposed to a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at banning abortions.
Janine Hansen, president of Nevada Eagle Forum, says that while the backers of the initiative petition have good intentions it will not stop abortions. The Forum, the Independent American Party, Nevada Families and Nevada Life issued a statement opposing the “Personhood” initiative petition, saying the proposed constitution amendment “is so vague and general that it may not even apply to abortion at all.” They said, “This amendment will harm the Pro-Life movement by giving pro-abortion courts more power to decide all matters relations to abortion, such as parental notification, informed consent and taxpayer funding of abortion.”
Richard Ziser, a spokesman for the “Personhood” plan, said that's another opinion and "everybody has their own.” He said those who drew up the initiative petition believe it is clear. Ziser said this was a peoples’ amendment, not the courts.
The initiative petition, filed Oct. 21 with the Secretary of State’s office, would amend the Nevada Constitution to give “the inalienable right to life for everyone, young or old, healthy or ill, conscious or unconscious, born or unborn.” It would need the signatures of 97,002 voters to qualify it for the 2010 election ballot. And if passed, it would have to be approved again by the voters in 2012.

Superior web-site. I like your posting comments system. My apologies for the off-topic posting, yet I had been incredibly satisfied with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australia OPen this yr. The guy is probably unequalled. He exhibited he had been as robust as iron. Simply consider about he he could whip Nadal who had been so inspired to succeed and was really so motivated up while in the 5th set. Now i’m beginning to feel that Djokovic is performing some religious work to take some forces on his side that help him win these kinds of matches against the finest players in the world
