Anti-choicer civil war expanding
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 06:39 AM by ck4829
Four conservative organizations blasted the latest effort to promote zygote civil rights through a 2010 Nevada state ballot measure setting up yet another schism between the local and national anti-choice movements.

In a statement that could only charitably be summed up as "We've got things under control here. Butt out." Nevada Life, the Nevada Eagle Forum and Nevada Families issued a statement that the personhood petition language is "so vague and general that it may not even apply to abortion at all."

The trio was joined by the Nevada Independent American Party, a political group formally affiliated with the Christian paleoconservative Constitution Party. The latter of which has attracted the likes of radical, absolutist anti-choice activists Matt Trewhella and perennial political candidate Alan Keyes among other hard-liners.

Don Nelson of Nebraska Life complained, "This bill has no chance of ending abortion in America or in Nevada. And the effect of this could add more precedence to supporting Roe v. Wade."

Not only is this just national vs local now, but now it is ideological as well. It's starting to get through the heads of some of these anti-choicers that these "64 celled blastocysts should be considered the same as everyone else" are pointless because they make no sense and they have never passed the test of being voted on by the American People. No zygote amendment has ever passed.
