Pro-Lifers Try Again On 'Personhood' Amendments

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Abortion opponents in Colorado and Montana want to try again to pass amendments giving human rights to embryos. Colorado and Montana Right to Life groups and Personhood USA say they will submit new initiatives this week in hopes of getting the measure on 2010 ballots. Last year, Colorado voters decided 3-to-1 against a similar measure to define fertilized human embryos as people in the state constitution.

Abortion opponents say they think they'll fare better next year in Colorado with better funding and a new campaign strategy.
