have cleared a legal hurdle. A state title board has approved a
proposed “personhood” amendment today that would ban the
procedure. The board made small changes to the language of the
amendment title but otherwise approved a longer version of the
abortion ban Coloradans rejected in 2010 and 2008. Planned
Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains says it plans to appeal the
decision to Colorado Supreme Court.

measure will be on ballots.
