Day Of Action For Reproductive Justice
Hear part of a speech from an anti-choice activist at the Walk For Life rally. While the audio is hard to hear, it is important to hear this new twist on "reasoning" for outlawing abortion. The women talks of her experience "infiltrating" a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, describing practices that if accurate at all, might better suggest the need for Single Payer health care reform, not outlawing abortion. (7 minutes)
Listen now:
The following is from civilrightsfoundation.org. An organizing drive is on for a November statewide ballot initiative again trying to reclassify an unborn fetus as a "person", thus paving the way to outlaw abortion as murder. Similar drives are going on in other states in a nationwide movement. This legality was slipped into in a past defeated "Parental Notification" intiative at the state level. The anti-abortion movement plans to keep going and going with these legislative activities, in the name of God, until they are successful. Signatures need to be submitted by April to get it on the ballot. More can be found by looking up the organization "Personhood USA".
The California Human Rights Amendment
The California Human Rights Amendment What is the California Human Rights Amendment? (CHRA) The CHRA is an initiative that will amend the California Constitution and define personhood commencing at the biological beginning of a human organism. http://www.CaliforniaHumanRightsAmendment.com Who would be protected under the California Human Rights Amendment? All human beings would be protected from their biological beginnings as human organisms until death, which includes babies in the woman's body, embryos in laboratories and clinics (regardless of their method of reproduction), older children, adults, the disabled, the dying, and those dependent on feeding tubes and other medical support, etc. In other words, ALL human beings are due equal protection under the law. Language of the California Human Rights Amendment Section 2 Article 1 Section 7(c) is added to the California Constitution to read: "The term ‘person’ applies to all living human organisms from the beginning of their biological development, regardless of the means by which they were procreated, method of reproduction, age, race, sex, gender, physical well-being, function, or condition of physical or mental dependency and/or disability”. Why do we need this amendment?
1. The right to life is the paramount and most fundamental right of a person.
2. Modern medical science clearly and overwhelmingly supports “personhood”, the fact that the life of every human being begins at the beginning of his/her biological development as a human organism.
3. Personhood removes the politically charged rhetoric of the “life” debate and replaces it with the commonsense scientific principle that life begins at each human being's development as a human organism.
4. Personhood is unlike all other legislation in that it guarantees the right to life of ALL people from the moment of procreation until death.
5. ALL human beings deserve to be protected by love and by law. Personhood is Human Rights.
