It's one thing to fume. Another to do something.
Some pro-choice people are channeling their post-debate aggravation into action. Don't like how John McCain put cynical air quotes around "Health of a mother"? They're working to defeat Amendment 48 in Colorado. Amendment 48 would grant constitutional "personhood" to a fertilized egg. It's a sneaky way to end run Roe V. Wade and end pregnant women's health and privacy rights. They say, and they're right.
"If passed, 48 will spread from state to state-threatening abortion, access to emergency contraception, and even birth control pills and IUDs," says the Feminist Majority. There's a state based coalition : Protect Families Protect Choices purchasing media ads and mobilizing voters statewide now.
Joke about John McCain's creepy "air quotes" all you like. But there's nothing empty about proposals like Amendment 48 in Colorado.
