Before Wednesday’s Republican debate in Colorado, home of the personhood movement, it’s worth a quick review of the top GOP candidates’ positions on personhood laws, which would ban abortion by giving legal rights to zygotes (fertilized eggs).

UPDATE #3: CNN now reporting, Oh Lordy, Kumbaya: Rep. Paul Ryan is pushing ahead with his — now likely successful — bid to be the next House speaker. In a closed-door session, more than 70% of the House Freedom Caucus voted in favor of Ryan’s candidacy. But that is short of the 80% needed for […]

(“The GOP landmine was armed and planted” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Reading today’s coverage in the Denver Post of the shutdown of Colorado’s Non-Profit Heath Co-op left me wondering “Why?” Other than the parenthetical note that Sen.
