Iowa rep fights for personhood
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 3/13/2010 4:10:00
Iowa move to add a personhood amendment to the state constitution is under way in Iowa.
The proposal calls for the state to recognize human eggs as persons deserving legal protection, and the drive in the House is spearheaded by Representative Dwayne Alons.
Dwayne Alons"We've found out so many things about life and development in the womb, about a person," he comments. "And I believe it's time that we really start recognizing that a person does begin at conception, and that right to life should be put intact and stay there for a person from the very beginning of the biological process."
The problem in both houses of the Iowa legislature, according to Alons, is that they are controlled by liberals.
"They have resisted most of the bills for the most part -- I'd say just about all the bills that relate to changing anything related to life and right to life," the state lawmaker notes. "So it's an uphill battle, but hopefully this will gain momentum."
The bill would put an end to abortion in Iowa, but it would also bar research using human embryos. The measure must pass both houses before being placed on a state ballot.
