Ed Hanks’ Analysis of Colo GOP Primary

[Update on Tambor Williams: See the CRTL Report, Tambor Williams is Not Pro-life, on Dan Maes' tragic choice for Lt. Governor.]

Full article is at Ed's pro-personhood blog lookingontherightside.com. Excerpts:

...a big win for Personhood... The biggest victory for Personhood today was Ken Buck, for U.S. Senate.  Opponent Jane Norton had endorsed Personhood... but on her website she endorsed abortion in cases of rape and incest, which is a stand entirely opposed to the concept of Personhood.

Americans United for Life... had endorsed Jane Norton. That was the first endorsement of any candidate that organization had made in four decades [CRTL: although because of a supreme court ruling now permitting them to do so]. Why did they endorse her? Because of Colorado Right to Life and the Personhood movement! AUL realized that if the winner of the primary for the U.S. Senate was a candidate who supported the Personhood strategy, instead of their compromised regulation strategy, it would be the beginning of the end for their control over the regulatory process... Why prefer a candidate with exceptions over a candidate who would protect the life of the unborn from conception forward -- NO exceptions?  Americans United for Life endorsed Jane Norton specifically because she wasn't 100% pro-life!  This was a key race for them... and they lost. Personhood won.

Another key victory was in the Governor’s race, where we now know there will be two candidates on the November ballot who support Personhood – Dan Maes and Tom Tancredo.  Scott McInnis... there were always doubts on our side...

Overall, 11 out of 19 Republicans running for the State Senate this year are pro-Personhood, and there may be more we don’t know about, or who will sign on later. And in the House, 17 out of 65 candidates are on record as supporting Personhood, but probably twice that actually do, and just haven’t gone on record...

Listen to the new Amendment 62 radio commercial.

Colorado RTL Reports: Tambor Williams is not pro-life and the 2010 Republican candidate for Governor Dan Maes is misrepresenting his choice for Lt. Governor. See below CRTL's Election Night Warning, CRTL's Apology to our Constituents, and first, Tambor Williams record summarized in five bullets.

On Tambor Williams

* Opposes Personhood Amendment 62: Williams rejects the God-given right to life as evidenced by her refusal to sign the 2010 pro-life personhood petition. And her "respected" exceptions, by which she means that she supports the killing of some unborn children, also demonstrate why she refuses to endorse Amendment 62, the most important item on Colorado's 2010 ballot, which Maes himself supports.

* Fights to Fund Abortion: In contradiction to Maes' opposition to abortion funding, he selected a running mate who as a state representative urged Gov. Bill Owens to provide funds to Planned Parenthood. Tambor Williams attempted this in spite of two hard-fought pro-life election victories amending the state constitution which now "prohibits the use of public funds… to pay or otherwise reimburse, directly or indirectly… for any induced abortion." Yet Williams acted as though money is not fungible and urged funds to go to Colorado's primary abortion provider...

[And now Castle Rock OB/GYN Endocrinologist Dr. Alexander answers Quillen]

In his arguments against the unborn child and Amendment 62, the Denver Post's Ed Quillen wonders how a fetus might go to court, claims every home miscarriage would be investigated, and that an embryo couldn't possibly possess property. Since the right to life comes not from the government nor the delivery doctor, but from our Creator, it exists at the moment of our creation, and as a result, all arguments against the unborn child must be false and therefore, weak.

Enter Ed Quillen who asks how an embryo might "go to court to advance a denial-of-due process claim," but then, an infant has a similar challenge, yet Ed knows that baby is a person. By fear mongering, he claims government would take action against countless women who miscarry, yet history demonstrates the truth. When the nation recognized abortion as illegal, the authorities never arrested a single doctor or woman for a miscarriage. And as for an unborn child possessing property, corporeal personal property including bodily parts and the three-billion base pairs of one's DNA, are already being harvested from the tiniest boys and girls with utter disregard for their humanity and rights...

MEDIA ADVISORY, July 2 /Christian Newswire/ -- Colorado's Amendment 62 personhood campaign is set to launch a remarkable Internet tool, MyCampaignTracker.org, on July 4th, 2010. The Tracker will help our state secure recognition of the right to life acknowledged by America's Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life..."
