Fla. Antiabortion-Rights Advocates Petition For 'Personhood' Ballot Initiative In 2010

Antiabortion-rights advocates in Florida on Friday filed a proposal to amend the state constitution to define someone as "person" "from the beginning of the biological development of that human being," the Tampa Tribune reports. The proposed ballot initiative was filed by Personhood Florida, a loose coalition of antiabortion-rights advocates supported by the American Life League.
