Amendment 48, the Personhood Amendment, is about empowering the voter. It's about allowing the democratic process to make decisions that have been made by special-interest groups for the last 40 years while using your taxes for their own gain. It's about catching our laws up to our science. It's about restoring the intrinsic value of every human being, no matter what stage of development.
The Personhood Amendment doesn't change the constitution in any way, as its opponents claim; it merely clarifies the definition of a person as beginning at fertilization. This clarification is necessary because when the original constitution was written, the biological information we now have available didn't exist.
The Personhood Amendment isn't an attack on women's health care. The amendment in no way endangers the well-being of mothers. It merely provides a common-sense foundation for making future decisions. By acknowledging what we already know to be fact, we will protect lives that are in danger of being lost.
