Unborn Personhood on Colorado Ballot!
DENVER, May 29 -- "For the first time in forty years of 'legalized' child killing, pro-lifers have moved an entire state to consider the God-given right to life of the unborn," said Brian Rohrbough, president of American RTL. "We thank sponsor Kristi Burton of Colorado for Equal Rights, the 500 participating churches, and Colorado RTL for getting personhood on the November ballot."
Today the Colorado Secretary of State's office validated 103,000 signatures on human life petitions, 27,000 more than required to force a statewide vote. If passed, the Colorado constitution would define 'person' as "any human being from the moment of fertilization."
"Abortion is wrong because it's a baby; it's always wrong to intentionally kill a baby," said Rohrbough, "even when its father is a criminal, as with incest."
American RTL has launched its Colorado personhood campaign with a rebuttal to the so-called 'hard cases' of abortion for incest.
"The abortion clinic covers up the crime of incest, and typically sends the victim back home to her rapist," the group's website states. "Even worse, they often send her home with her rapist, the criminal who brought her to the clinic."
"There are no 'hard cases'," said Steve Curtis, the group's vice president and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. "Abortion for incest emboldens a criminal to rape his young relative, helps him escape being caught, tempts him to repeat his crime, and is not compassionate because it kills a baby and increases the woman's suffering." Rohrbough added, "Personhood for the unborn helps people understand there are no hard cases when deciding to protect a baby; you don't kill the baby because her father is a criminal."
"Abortion clinics nationwide refuse to comply with mandatory reporting laws for suspected child rape," said Jo Scott, director of Pro-Life Colorado. "We brought audio taped evidence provided by Life Dynamics of that failure to the Colorado attorney general's office, and they choose to look the other way; personhood for the unborn will reduce crimes against women and children."
"American RTL applauds the dozens of Colorado politicians and candidates who have publicly endorsed the personhood amendment," says AmericanRTL.org, "and urges all Christians, pro-life leaders and organizations to support personhood as the only foundation on which to reverse the de-criminalization of killing unborn children." NOTE: Jo Scott was in studio helping BEL report today's historic news!
* Best Residential Protest in History: Led by Will Duffy, the founder of the Collaborators Project, twenty pro-life activists crashed a $275-a-plate Planned Parenthood fundraiser at a four million dollar Denver mansion. Child-killing collaborators had to drive under a 12-foot arch that read "Baby Killers" to get to the home of Joris 303 722-8810 and Regina 303 722-9969 Brinkerhoff, 1681 E Cedar Ave, Denver 80209, and the catered meal on the terrace was delayed for an hour and a half as the millionaire pro-aborts hoped the protesters would leave. A public alleyway allowed the Collaborators Project direct access to the home and the backyard. As the fifty pro-abort collaborators sheepishly ventured outside and sat down to dinner, Pastor Bob Enyart announced, "Now, we will say grace. Let us pray," and another minister with a gentle but powerful voice began the dinner program of prayers, worship and chants, including: "No child-killing with tranquility" and "Ripping arms off a baby is wrong." You are cordially invited to visit, write, or phone the Brinkerhoffs to urge them to stop helping to kill unborn children.

This first-of-its-kind ARTL Road Trip leaves from Denver Monday June 2 at 7:30 a.m. and will return Wednesday.

Post-show Note: * Colorado Governor Signs Homosexual Law Attacking Christians: Governor Bill Ritter today signed into law the stealth Senate Bill 08-200 which amends as follows Colorado state law: "Section 8. 24-34-701. Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden. No person, being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent, or employee of any place of public accommodation... shall publish, issue, circulate, send, distribute, give away, or display in any way, manner, or shape or by any means or method, except as provided in this section, any communication, paper, poster, folder, manuscript, book, pamphlet, writing, print, letter, notice, or advertisement of any kind, nature, or description THAT is intended or calculated to discriminate or actually discriminates against... SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status... in the matter of furnishing or neglecting or refusing to furnish to them or any one of them any lodging, housing, schooling, or tuition or any accommodation, right [marriage], privilege [adoption], advantage, or convenience... on account of... SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status... [which] is unwelcome or objectionable or not acceptable, desired, or solicited." Christian ministries have been opposing a cartoon-version of this law, complaining that it will allow men in women's restrooms. In reality, this law is the most far-reaching, hostile homosexual attack on Christians America has seen. See last Thursday's BEL show for more information.
