California has joined the race to recognize human rights and personhood for all human beings from the biological beginning of development.
"The preborn, while demonstrably alive and demonstrably human, are not protected 'persons' under our state constitution," said Lila Rose, the 21-year-old student pro-life activist, president of Live Action and cosponsor of the amendment. "Our laws must protect each person' basic human right to life, from the beginning of his or her life until the end." Reuters 9/29/09
