A Fertilized Egg Can't Fart - That's For Sure

But it don't matter. Some lovely folks in Colorado still want to believe an egg is just like you and me. With the same rights.

Anti-abortion advocates recently proposed a ballot initiative that would change the Colorado constitution's definition of a person to include a fertilized egg, such that every fertilized egg could have the "right to life," among other rights guaranteed to a "person" by our constitution. If this initiative passes in 2008, any form of birth control that may work in part by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg could be deemed illegal. This could include Plan B® – as well as the most effective forms of birth control, like the pill, the patch, NuvaRing, Implanon, Depo-Provera, and IUDs.

Just keeps gettin' better and better.
