Personhood amendment

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer has come out against a pro-life ballot measure that would define a human embyro as a person, the Rocky Mountain News is reporting.

"I think there are other strategies and tactics that get us far closer to advancing the cause of human life," Schaffer said, according to the Rocky.

Schaffer has consistantly spoken out against abortion, though he hadn't taken a stance on the personhood amendment until now, the article stated.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall, a consistant pro-choice supporter, also opposes the amendment. 

In this week's edition of Winners and Losers, we take a look at a candidate not competing at the 6th CD assembly, the two U.S. Senate candidates making molehills out of mountains (or something like that), a Colonel of Marines who spent more time whining than winning votes and we let Kristi Burton take a bow. She's earned it.

Supporters of a proposed state constitutional amendment that would define the definition of "personhood " to include a human embryo say they plan to present the Colorado Secretary of State's office next week with "well over" the required number signatures needed to put the issue on the fall ballot.

Colorado for Equal Rights, the group sponsoring the pro-life measure, will hold a press conference at a Knights of Columbus hall in downtown Denver early Tuesday afternoon about the proposed referendum; volunteers will then march the petition signatures to the Secretary of State's office, a press release stated.
