Re-submitted to the News: RTL Warns Colorado GOP
Re-submitted to the Rocky Mountain News, Nov. 5, 2008:
Politically speaking, our state's Personhood Amendment 48 was trounced, but 550,000 Coloradans voted 'Yes' giving us a firm baseline from which to fight for the innocent. But now that Colorado has also rejected the Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer, I would like to re-submit (as reported on by the Denver Post, LifeNews and appearing on the Rocky Mountain News site) Colorado Right To Life's June press release as a guest editorial:
Right To Life Warns Colorado Republican Chairman
by Leslie Hanks
CRTL V.P.
June 16, 2008
Colorado Right To Life is warning Dick Wadhams, the state Republican Party chairman, that by shunning their pro-life conservative base they're headed for another election defeat in November, three election-cycle catastrophes for the Colorado GOP, and two U.S. Senate losses for Wadhams.
Wadhams banned the nation's oldest Right To Life organization from their state convention while he welcomed a pro-abortion group. The state's top Republican is out of touch with his own party's base, where 4 out of 5 Republicans at the convention voted to defend life beginning at fertilization.
The thousands of convention delegates passed all forty resolutions offered, except for the only one that failed, the pro-abortion Resolution #21...
Vote yes on 48
Election Result: Politically, Colorado's personhood Amendment 48 was trounced, but still it received over 600,000 'Yes' votes, providing a firm baseline from which we will continue the fight to uphold the God-given right to life of unborn children. With two down and one to go: slavery abolished and the holocaust ended, Christians will continue their 41-year fight in our state since 1967 to end the 'legalized' killing of unborn children. Defeating widespread injustice is never easy. Colorado RTL will press on and work to export the personhood strategy to other states and nations, to advocate enforcement of God's enduring command, Do not murder.

Amendment 48 is opposed by Planned Parenthood, but see the cruelty of their founder who they still honor who described people with eternal value, "the blind, deaf and mute... the feeble-minded and epileptic" as the "dead weight of human waste," as Margaret Sanger wrote in Pivot of Civilization page 51 and readable online at books.google.com.

Please, Gazette, Don't Take Our Side
Dear Editor:
Please Gazette, don't take our side. Retract your endorsement of the Personhood initiative (Gazette, The Case for Amendment 48, Oct. 29, 2008) which we are working so hard to pass. Colorado Right To Life rebukes the Gazette for its utter lack of humility before our Creator God. In your endorsement you acknowledge that the unborn child is a living human being, a person, and recommend a Yes vote. But then you claim that if society wants to kill those kids, you give the example of a Down syndrome child, then so be it; let them be killed. We rebuke you.
There is no bottom to that abyss. Worse even than Obama saying he doesn't know when human life begins, is McCain saying that rights begin at conception and then funding as he does the killing of countless unborn. Human beings are not animals. Fish eat other fish. The rights of Blacks don't come from a white-dominated government, nor do the rights of Jews come from Germans, nor do a child's rights come from a mob or a majority. An unborn girl's rights come from her Creator, not at birth, but at the moment of her creation. The Gazette says, yes, these tiny children are people, but go ahead and kill them. Please, don't take our side.

Denver, Colorado -- A meeting last Friday between Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Denver officials, CRTL board members, and scientific and medical experts led the pro-life organization to decide to join an annual protest to warn women at the Komen Foundation's Race for the Cure of the link between abortion and breast cancer.

American RTL Unfurled DNC Sheets Of Shame
DENVER, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- An official Guinness Book of World RecordsTM attempt to display the largest ever protest sign has succeeded. The 530-foot tall and 666-foot wide message is being shouted from the mountaintops overlooking the Democratic National Convention with the leading 2008 protest message.
Depending on their location, thousands of DNC delegates and journalists can look out their hotel windows to the west to see the sign. Sponsored by American RTL Action, the message initially appeared with three enormous 160-foot tall, bright yellow letters, D-N-C, stacked on top of each other.
After those letters suddenly appeared on a mountain just west of Denver, the actual full message of the sign began to unfurl. Three lines of white text, built on the vertical yellow letters read, D-N-C:
Destroys
uNborn
Children
"The tiniest boys and girls should be loved and protected," said American RTL Action president Steve Curtis, "but as nominating Barack Obama emphasizes, the DNC even supports killing kids in the womb old enough to know their mother's voice, sleep and dream, suck their thumbs, and play with their toes."

Colorado RTL Reply to Dr. Irving
"Faithful are the Wounds of a Friend"
Dr. Dianne N. Irving, a bioethicist and professor at Georgetown University, has criticized the personhood amendment, which we support, which appears on Colorado's November 2008 ballot. Dr. Irving's moral and scientific arguments are not only valid, they are foundational to the long-term success of the personhood movement. Colorado RTL will join Dr. Irving in educating pro-lifers, the public and politicians about the sexual and asexual origins of human life that must be recognized in law for it to protect all persons. Dr. Irving's criticism illustrates Solomon's words, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend" (Proverbs 27:6).
