The age old question continues: where does life begin?

Earlier this month Colorado voters rejected a measure that would have granted developing fetuses personhood rights under the 14th amendment. Consequences of this amendment, had it passed, would include harsher punishments for people who cause the death of a pregnant woman's baby and the criminalization of women who get abortions. It would also call into question the legality of in vitro fertilization and certain kinds of contraception. This is the third time that this particular bill has been rejected in Colorado, and other states such as Mississippi and South Dakota have also rejected similar bills in the past.

While I am no supporter of abortion, I am a supporter of a woman's right to make her own decisions about her body and her life in general. I don't like the fact that this bill would criminalize women who get abortions and possibly make illegal in vitro fertilization and certain contraception. Women who find themselves in such a situation that they feel an abortion is their only way out should under no circumstances be treated with judgement or hate. These women likely recognize the gravity of their actions, and there is no need for people to make them feel any worse about it. These women must be treated with love and support so that they don't feel alone or trapped, as feelings like this very well may have caused them to get an abortion in the first place.
