Anti-abortion personhood measure cleared in Calif.: Proponents of a measure that would ban abortions by giving equal rights to fetuses have been cleared to gather signatures in California. The push comes on the heels of a similar effort rejected by voters in Mississippi earlier this month. Mississippi's measure would have banned abortion, and could have deterred doctors from doing in vitro fertilization. It also could have made some birth control illegal. Union City-based California Civil Rights Foundation must collect more than 807,000 signatures by April to qualify for the November 2012 ballot.
