I got this message in an email from the Feminist Majority. It's been a crazy election year, but we have to make sure not to lose track of some very important ballot measures.

Anti-abortion extremists are at it again.

They are trying to add a "fetal personhood" amendment to the state constitution in Colorado, Amendment 62, and sinking to new lows in their rhetoric - their latest ad is a disgusting parade of vicious lies. Amendment 62 would give more rights to a fertilized egg than a woman, and effectively ban birth control and abortion in Colorado.

Two years ago, anti-abortion extremists failed in their attempt to pass a similarly Draconian amendment, and we are counting on you to help us get out the vote and defeat this terrible measure once again. Tell everyone you know in Colorado to vote NO ON 62.

Personhood USA and its anti-choice allies will stop at nothing in their campaign to restrict women's rights. Make sure you check out that atrocious ad, which refers to President Obama as the "angel of death" and completely rewrites American history. Their extremist rhetoric and disgusting lies will not fool the people of Colorado.

Tell your Colorado friends to vote NO ON 62.

While you're at it, take a look at the Christian Taliban's crazy ad in favor of this woman hating madness.



If you think that the Christian Right is completely anti American in its world view, you would be absolutely correct. They certainly are smaller than they were a few years ago, but they are just as obsessed as ever.
