Opinion: Greeley Tribune Election Mailbox for Oct 23

When does the personhood of a human being begin? That’s the question you’ll have to answer before voting on Amendment 62. It’s not what others believe but what do you believe after being intellectually honest with yourself and your conscience.

The question of personhood can invoke strong emotions. But the question is straight forward and basic. When do you believe personhood begins? Is it when the biological development of a baby’s life begins or when a baby is viable outside the mother’s womb?

So I ask you: Is your unborn child, grandchild, niece, nephew, cousin or neighbor property or a person? If you answer property, vote no on Amendment 62. If you answer a person, vote yes on Amendment 62; the choice is yours.

Clair Orr, Greeley
