"Some
hot-button issues like abortion and gun control were scarce on this
year’s ballots, but in Colorado, the group Personhood USA backed an
amendment to defined an unborn human as a person in Colorado’s criminal
code and wrongful-death act. The group has twice failed to win passage
of a broader amendment that would have granted personhood to an unborn
human being in all areas of law, and its more limited measure was again
rejected by voters on Tuesday.
In
North Dakota, voters rejected a similar amendment that said life begins
at conception. But in Tennessee, voters approved an amendment allowing
the legislature to regulate abortion, a power that was denied by a State
Supreme Court decision in 2000".
