[QUOTE]Colorado voters rejected a measure that defined life as beginning at conception, which would have made abortion illegal. Its opponents said the proposal could lead to the outlawing of some types of birth control as well as abortion. [/QUOTE]

I so wish this would have passed. The potential legal issues would have put the abortion debate to rest in the courts for so long it would have taken it out of the arena and give people some rest.

Anyways since it didn't pass I guess we just have to come up with the imaginary crimes you could have charged someone with if it did.

So if a fertilized egg was defined as a person.....

[I]Abortion would be considered first degree murder.. but also a woman whose body rejects the embryo would be guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter.[/I]

[I]If the woman were to leave town without the father's permission, technically she would be guilty of kidnapping his child. If her parents were involved they would be an accessory to to that.
[/I]

[I]Parents, don't want your daughter seeing the scum bag who knocked her up? Sorry under this law you would be guilty of holding his kid hostage. [/I]

[I]Under this law the woman would have no privacy with her medical records since according to federal law parents have a right to see their child's medical records. If it were even potentially affecting his kid he would have a right to know.[/I] -yeah I know its minor

[I]The mother isn't eating healthily enough during pregnancy? The father could potentially take her to court for child abuse if it affects the person inside of her.[/I]

OK I know I am a bit twisted... but you guys are more so. Plus lawyers make me look nice.
