Colorado Confidential: "The 35-year battle to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade decision is once again firmly planted in women's wombs. This time, instead of directing their wrath at women's clinics, abortion foes are targeting a much different constituency -- fertilized eggs. While Colorado for Equal Rights continues to collect petition signatures to place a state constitutional amendment on the November ballot recognizing the 'personhood' of fertilized human eggs, questions are being raised about the motives behind the group and who's truly calling the shots. 'The whole issue really saddens me,' says Sigrid Fry-Revere, the Cato Institutes's director of bioethics, the nation's top libertarian think tank devoted to civil liberties and economic issues. 'I am strongly against abortion on moral grounds. I do believe that a fertilized egg is a person; a human from the point of conception. But I don't believe that person has the same legal rights as the mother. And that's where all the problems come in.'"
