The Overwhelming Majority of Scientists Say NO to 48

Everyday there is something new that the proponents of Amendment 48 twist and lie about. Yesterday there was a radical radio show featuring Kristi Burton from the pro-48 campaign in which the hosts ranted on about “the left” worshiping Hitler, Stalin and how the left "likes killing babies and old people." Its inflammatory talk like that can incite people to violence. If those who are pro-48 were dedicated to espousing the truth and against killing, Kristi would have corrected the hosts, instead she agreed. That goes too far.

Today a press release from Colorado for Equal Rights was broadcast claiming doctors are in support of Amendment 48. In it Kathleen Klotz Puls, M.D. says that the Colorado Medical Society says vote NO on 48 but she disagrees with them.

Also from the release, Dr Sam Alexander, a supporter of 48 unwittingly says “but we can't establish truths based upon what consequences we desire” when in reality, this amendment is the epitome of a culturally biased desire; a sneaky way to sweepingly outlaw abortion.

To include a fertilized egg in the definition of a person is not a definition that is legally or scientifically feasible, it is a definition that is culturally and religiously relative.

Kristi Burton:

It is time for Colorado citizens to realize that many, many physicians are on the side of science and technology

I agree Kristi. Many doctors are on the side of science and technology which is why they are against the amendment. Just take a look at the list below.

Please donate to the No on 48 campaign.
