Today, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and allies launched the campaign in opposition to the so-called “Personhood” abortion ban ballot measure, headed for the Colorado statewide ballot (pending confirmation of submitted petition signatures) for the third consecutive general election cycle. The measure failed by over 70% of the statewide vote in 2008 and 2010, and is generally considered harmful to Republican prospects in any number of important congressional and legislative races–not to mention the timing of this with recent events that have thrust abortion rights to the forefront of political debate in a presidential election year.

We’ll update shortly with statements and news coverage.
