Online Debate Examines Colorado Personhood Amendment Tactic

Online Debate Examines Colorado Personhood Amendment Tactic :Operation Rescue: Recently, a lively discussion on Facebook concerning Colorado’s twice defeated Amendment 62 prompted Troy Newman to invite both sides to a friendly debate. We asked both sides to submit 400 word statements in support of their views. We asked only that both sides refrain from ad hominem attacks. Other than removing any name-calling, we promised not to alter their statements in any way. (In fact, we have printed the statements submitted without edits of any kind.) Unfortunately, that one condition caused several from Personhood U.S.A. to pull out of the debate.

However, Keith Ashley, of Personhood Kansas graciously agreed to step in and submit a statement on behalf of the Personhood organization. Steven Ertelt, Editor of LifeNews.com, has agreed to submit a statement in opposition. Read the two statements and engage in the debate through the comment feature at the end of the articles. Which side do you favor?

Editor: Kudos to OR for providing this forum.
