Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has endorsed an amendment to Colorado's constitution declaring that a fertilized egg is a person.
"This proposed constitutional amendment will define a person as a human being from the moment life begins at conception," Huckabee said in a statement backing the Colorado Human Life Amendment.
"With this amendment, Colorado has an opportunity to send a clear message that every human life has value.
"Passing this amendment will mean the people of Colorado will protect the sanctity of life from conception until natural death occurs."
The amendment's supporters need to collect an estimated 76,000 petition signatures to get the measure on the November ballot, according to the Denver Post.
If approved, the amendment would bestow constitutional rights to life, liberty, equality of justice, and due process of law to every fertilized egg, the paper reported.
The amendment is opposed by pro-choice groups, who fear it could set the stage for outlawing abortions in Colorado.
Comment: Is Mike Huckabee an archaic biblical progressive?
When does the Bible say "life" begins? When biblically is a person a "living soul"? Is Huckabee reading from the progressive's gospel? Beware...
How do we know, by what Mike Huckabee says or what the Bible says? Can we trust what Huckabee "thinks" as truly being biblical? What does the Bible say? Can we trust what the Bible says? These are all very vital questions that need answersÂ…
Just ask yourself, where does the Bible mention fertilized eggs?
Is Huckabee out on a limb on this one? Is this latest revelation political or biblical?
What does the Bible say about "life"? It would figure that once we collectively learn what the Bible says about life we should be able to make at least a "biblically" informed decision ourselves.
Some people are reading from different pages and some aren't reading from the "good book" at all. They are simply stating what they personally think and "feel". Feelings are no guarantee for truth. Feelings change and fluctuate but the truth never changes, it is just as true today as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow.
