Personhood passes both houses of the North Dakota legislature!

We Did It! History Had Been Made! Friend, We did it! After four years of hard work pro-life personhood legislation has passed both houses of the North Dakota legislature! This means that North Dakota is only a popular vote away from being the first state in American history to ban abortion! This has now set up a nearly 19 month battle that will lead up to the final vote which will take place in November 2014. The state legislature has proven that the people of North Dakota stand on the side of life, but you can bet that the pro-abortion machine will be unleashed like never before. We need to sprint across the finish line and that is why we need you! In order to make North Dakota the first state in American history to completely ban abortion, we need the tools to fight back against the ruthless attacks of the pro-abortion left that have already begun. In fact the ACLU has already begun organizing a local chapter to fight us in North Dakota. They are preparing and so should we. The backbone of our defenses is our LifeGuard membership club, and now has never been a better time to sign up.

North Dakota Senate passes personhood amendment and abortion ban

BISMARCK, N.D., Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — For the first time in US history, a personhood amendment has passed the North Dakota Senate.

SCR 4009 states, “the inalienable right to life of every human being at any stage of development must be recognized and protected.”

In addition, the Senate has approved SB 2303 which “ensures that the protection that our criminal laws afford to victims of crimes extends to all human beings born and unborn.”
SCR 4009 is the first personhood amendment to ever pass the North Dakota Senate.
The amendment will move next to the House of Representatives, where similar personhood amendments previously passed in 2009 and 2011 but were prevented from being voted upon by undemocratic maneuvers.

“North Dakota is leading the way for equal rights and protections for all human beings,” affirmed Jennifer Mason , spokesperson for Personhood USA. “After the struggles to pass life-affirming amendments in the Senate in the past four years, we are very pleased that the North Dakota Senate has chosen to protect all living human beings. This is a historic day in North Dakota.”

SCR 4009 and SB 2303 were both written as to ensure that mother and baby are both treated as medical patients, that medical care is not inhibited, and that fertility treatments are not banned.

“Abortion laws are archaic, based on 40-year-old science and technology,” added Mason. “Our understanding of pregnancy and human development since Roe v Wade has changed dramatically. There is no question now that the unborn child is a human being and a person, who has a right to legal recognition and protection.”
