Comments 0 | Recommend 0DENVER - Gov. Bill Ritter is opposing a
first-in-the-nation proposal on Colorado ballots this fall that would
define a fertilized egg as a person and potentially outlaw abortion.
Ritter plans a news conference today to oppose Amendment 48, which would change the state constitution.
The
governor has also come out against other ballot measures, including a
ban on affirmative action in state decisions and a ban on requiring
workers to join a union.
