Personhood

January 23, 2010, Tallahassee Democrat

There's a move to amend Florida's Constitution, adding this sentence: "The words 'person' and 'natural person' apply to all human beings, irrespective of age, race, health, function, condition of physical and/or mental dependency and/or disability, or method of reproduction, from the beginning of the biological development of that human being."

It's called the Personhood Amendment for short, and you can boil down its 42 words to this: "After conception, it's sacred."
