For Immediate Release: Democrat-Led Personhood
Amendment Introduced In Michigan Legislature
Submitted by jsutherland on Sat, 10/17/2009 - 17:46
Lansing, MI - October 17, 2009
Michigan has joined with dozens of other States that are seeking affirmation of personhood rights for all humans.
Rep. Jim Slezack (Democrat) is the the lead sponsor of the amendment, and is cosponsored by Paul Scott, Tim Moore, Richard LeBlanc, James Bolger, Kevin Green, Rick Jones, Pete Lund, Matt Lori, John Walsh, Kenneth Kurtz, Tom McMillin, Robert Dean, Bob Genetski, Wayne Schmidt, Joe Haveman, Kevin Daley, Marty Knollenberg, Eileen Kowall, Goeff Hansen, Dudley Spade, Joel Sheltrown, and Jeff Mayes.
The Michigan Personhood Amendment states:
SEC. 28. (1) EVERY HUMAN PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE, WHICH IS THE PARAMOUNT AND MOST FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT GUARANTEED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THIS STATE.
(2) WITH RESPECT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL AND INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE, THE WORD "PERSON"
APPLIES TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS, IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE, RACE, GENDER, HEALTH, FUNCTION, CONDITION
OF DEPENDENCY, INCLUDING PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DEPENDENCY, OR METHOD OF REPRODUCTION,
FROM THE BEGINNING OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT, INCLUDING FERTILIZATION.
“It is tremendous that for the first time in Michigan Legislature history, an Amendment has been introduced to protect ALL humans no matter how small, by love and by law,” commented Cal Zastrow, Co-founder of Personhood USA.

What is Personhood USA?
Personhood USA is a grassroots Christian organization founded to establish personhood efforts across America to create protection for every child by love and by law. Personhood USA is committed to assisting and supporting Personhood Legislation and Constitutional Amendments and building local pro-life organizations through raising awareness of the personhood of the pre-born. When the term “Person” is granted to a human being, it refers to the presence of a particular set of characteristics that grant that individual certain rights such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, to be a person is to be protected by a series of God given and constitutionally protected rights. This terrifies the pro-abortion foes!!!

While thankful for the principled pro-life efforts of all those supporting “personhood” for pre-born humans, CCL does not participate in ecumenical pro-life activism.
CCL Note: Personhood USA has been very successful in expanding the Personhood vision in the United States, resulting in the launching of several new efforts in multiple states to ESTABLISH JUSTICE for pre-birth human beings, by vesting legal Personhood, at fertilization, with no exceptions. Because of the leadership and direct efforts of Personhood USA, Personhood efforts have grown and multiplied, helping to grow the goal of establishing Personhood for pre-birth human beings into a national effort, along with the efforts of others.
Unfortunately, Personhood USA is also one of many ecumenical pro-life organizations, despite the admonition of Scripture in 2 Cor. 6:14-18 to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Rome's ongoing strategy of promoting Ecumenism is one major reason for the repeated, documented opposition of US Catholic Bishops (who are accountable to the Vatican's Pope) to passing state-level PERSONHOOD legislation to END "abortion" (i.e., child-murder), in direct opposition to the efforts of Personhood USA and others who are working to establish unborn Personhood.
