A new anti-abortion ballot initiative, known as Initiative 149 or "Right to Life from Conception," has been approved by the Colorado Title Board.
This initiative is the latest effort by Angela Eicher and Faye Barnhart, who have consistently submitted anti-abortion measures during election years. Their previous attempts have failed to gather enough signatures to make the ballot.
Initiative 149 aims to confer legal rights on a fetus from the moment of conception, a concept known as "personhood." To move forward, supporters need to collect 124,328 signatures.
So-called "personhood" initiatives or bills, like Initiative 149, seek to confer legal rights on a fetus from the moment of conception.
