Amendment 48 would define the term person to include a fertilized egg in our state constitution.

This Amendment is the first of its kind being pushed by a narrow minority with an extreme political agenda and would threaten quality health care and patient privacy.

We need your help to defeat Amendment 48. We need your help to protect a family’s right to make personal, private life decisions. We need your help to keep the government, lawyers and courts from intruding in our health care choices—like birth control, in vitro fertilization, and abortion.

Join the NO on 48 Campaign because we need your help to defeat the so-called “definition of person” amendment, because it simply goes too far.

Giving legal rights to fertilized eggs has serious consequences. Amendment 48 would impact literally thousands of laws and threaten quality health care and patient privacy.

Some possible results of Amendment 48:

  • Clogged Courts: 48 would impact laws ranging from when property rights are granted, to inheritance rights, to who can file a lawsuit.
  • Ban All Abortion: 48 would ban abortion—even for victims of rape and incest or when a woman’s life is at risk.
  • Outlaw Emergency Contraception: 48 is so bad it could outlaw emergency contraception, the birth control pill, and other methods of birth control because they can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
  • Restrict Health Care: A woman with cancer could be refused life-saving medical treatment because it could put a fertilized egg in danger.

Health care decisions should be made by individuals, their doctors, and families--not extremists rewriting the state constitution. Join us to protect health care, privacy and our constitution.
