Young Colorado Activist Goes to Root of Issue

| No Comments

Law student, and founder of the group Colorado for Equal Rights, Kristi Burton, 20, of Peyton, Colo., goes right to the root of the abortion issue -- when human life begins.

"I really believe every time in history we live in, there are people that need to be saved," Burton told the Associated Press. "In our time in history in America it is the unborn."

So Burton now leads an effort to collect the 76,000 signatures that she will need to place a measure which defines a fertilized egg as a person on the Colorado state ballot for voter approval or rejection in the November 2008 elections. (There's no mention of abortion in Burton's amendment.)

As noted in the AP story on Burton, "Similar efforts are underway in Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi and Oregon."

This post-Roe generation activist "claims no affiliation with any outside anti-abortion group," according to the AP. Burton made up her mind about the issue as a home-schooled 13-year-old, "when in 2000 Colorado voters rejected an amendment calling for a 24-hour waiting period for women seeking abortions."

Burton is a young lady with a mind of her own. Those of us who share her mindset would be wise to support her efforts.

For we're lucky to have this gutsy feminist for others on our side.
