 MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 3 /Christian Newswire/ — Colorado’s Personhood Amendment, Amendment 62, showed a gain over the 2008 attempt, and organizers are already mounting a campaign to try again.
The opposition to Amendment 62 was funded primarily by billion dollar abortion profiteer Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood’s No on 62 campaign and abortionist Richard Grossman used outright lies to scare women, including that women’s eggs would have rights. “Planned Parenthood has been fighting against us to protect their profit, we are fighting for Personhood to protect innocent lives,” pointed out Leslie Hanks, co-sponsor of Amendment 62. “We look at this gain over 2008 as a victory – despite terrible adversity, and outrageous lies against us, we still gained in the polls, and babies’ lived were saved. Each of those lives saved is priceless.” Out of several dozen pro-life initiatives, only two were ever attempted more than once, including Colorado’s Personhood amendments. In only two years the Personhood movement has exploded nationwide, saving babies and changing hearts and minds through education and outreach, even while a continual effort is made to Constitutionally recognize the Personhood rights of every innocent human being, state by state. From 1890 to 1918, women in South Dakota attempted many times to gain the right to vote. Their constitutional amendments failed to pass six times before they succeeded. Movements take time to build, but that persistence in the initiative process pays out huge dividends. “We take from this example that we must not, and will not, ever stop trying to protect every human being in the state of Colorado. We will continue until we succeed,” stated Gualberto Garcia-Jones, co-sponsor of Amendment 62. “The truth of the baby’s God-given right to life is growing in Colorado. We will never give up, no matter how long it takes.” Personhood Colorado is determined to make another personhood attempt in the near future. “Matthew 25:45 says, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me,’ ” added Keith Mason, co-founder of Personhood USA. “The ‘least of these’, the smallest and most defenseless among us, are the only human beings in our country who are considered to be non-persons – they are treated like property. When the personhood amendment returns to Colorado, we will continue to defend the innocent, fighting the lies of Planned Parenthood, who profits from the killing of innocent human beings.” |

So Leslie Hanks, the Jesus-hating “sidewalk counselor” terrorist extremist, is going to try this “egg as a person” personhood crap again in 2012? So, Leslie, you and your horrible cronies truly believe that a ZYGOTE is a PERSON? ‘Personhood’ would make women who have a miscarriage subject to a criminal investigation, ban most forms of birth control (which means most women who take the pill could be charged with MURDER!), ban life-saving stem-cell research, and ban in-vitro fertilization (IVF) for people who are trying desperately to have a baby!
So Leslie, when a woman has a life threatening ectopic pregnancy, who decides which “person” gets to live and which “person” gets to die? YOU?
Well it is all indeed shocking, but it’s no surprise, and it’s personal for me. I live just off of Olive Street here in Denver, about two blocks away from where Leslie Hanks comes out regularly to loudly bully and harass anyone going into or coming out of a health clinic that is near here.
We all know exactly who Leslie Hanks is and almost every time I drive by there, Leslie is out there with her cohorts trying to videotape everyone as they come and go and violating everyone’s right to privacy. At least 30 of my neighbors (and a couple of ex-protesters who gave us info) have researched these people and almost all of them are criminals and low-lifes!
Leslie is joined out there every week by her friends. Here are some facts about these psychopaths:
Jo Anne Scott (Kreipel) was convicted on federal felony charges of conspiring to bomb a clinic!
Ken Tyler Scott (Jo’s husband) is a convicted deadbeat dad who didn’t even support his own daughters and has been committed to a mental hospital before because of his actions related to health clinics!
Bob Adolph Enyart (“Pastor” of Denver Bible Church in Arvada) was sentenced to 60 days in jail for beating a 7 year old boy so hard with a belt that he bled! Bob is apparently paying many of these people to be there.
Other terrorist names include: Scott Melvin Evans, Tony Massey, Cliff Powell and Beau Ballentine. They all stand out there and continually videotape, bully and harass!
They all try to claim to be “sidewalk counselors” and have disgusting, photo-shopped signs, bloody plastic children’s baby dolls, morbid “baby caskets”, and fake ‘abortion’ posters of bloody babies, and these are ALL OVER the streets in our neighborhood. They have giant signs of miscarriages and knowingly falsely present them as “abortions”. They even stand on giant ladders so they can videotape, bully and harass people over the clinic privacy fence! Their tactics are awful and even anti-human.
They know no boundaries, are very loud, obnoxious and aggressive and I can hear them yelling and making noise from my back yard every week! NONE of my neighbors want to drive near these horrible images and activities, especially when we have our young children in the car. Everyone reading this take a minute and imagine how you would feel if you had these grotesque signs lining the streets in your neighborhood! We are sick of it. These “protestors” all seem to try to video tape and intimidate anyone who drives down Pontiac street here in Denver and will lie to and mislead ANYONE who they can get to stop to listen, or otherwise is within earshot.
I have two daughters, both on birth control until they are ready to have my grandchildren (hopefully soon!), and if they harassed them like that, I would call the police on them. Leslie and her cronies need to go away! Our neighbors are currently discussing a possible class-action lawsuit or other action against these people in order to try to take our neighborhood back. This used to be a nice place to live until Leslie Hanks and her cronies started coming around.
They are all blasphemous towards the sacred Christian Bible and are harassing many REAL Christians, most whom are going into a clinic for birth control and other needed medical services (many from our surrounding neighborhood!). There have been several incidents where young women from our church were having miscarriages or other pregnancy complications and these people actually yelled at them “don’t kill your baby!” and “baby killer!”
Disgusting!
I used to consider myself more “pro-life” than pro-choice, but not any longer. These people do so much harm to the anti-abortion cause, which should be peaceful. I personally would like to see us get to the point where abortion is rare or non-existent because of effective family planning.
GOD will be the judge of all of us one way or another, NOT these terrible bullies! Jesus was peaceful and would have never done any of this and would not have approved in any way. These “sidewalk counselors” are doing the devil’s work and are the new Westboro Baptist Church of our community and their arrogant ignorance is so sad and pathetic that it sickens me.
These are the worst of the worst of anti-abortion (and anti-gay, anti-religious freedom) extremists. Anyone that associates with these people will be judged the same way by the public and by God (as mentally ill, sadistic and psychopathic!) There is a special place in Hell for all of these people, but it’s just as well, since these “sidewalk counselors” hate Jesus and are doing the devil’s work.
I am a member of a very large and REAL Christian Church south of Denver and our Pastor gave a wonderful sermon on Sunday about how these “sidewalk counselor” bullies blaspheme the name of the Lord. Our Pastor encouraged us to contact Voice of Choice (http://www.vochoice.org) to help attempt to get the protesters to see that this should not be about anyone’s stance on abortion, but to NOT BULLY and NOT HARRASS your fellow human beings.
Hundreds of the Denver parishioners and their family members have contacted Voice of Choice and offered their services to do what they could do to help. I hope you will do the same. Please pray for the protesters!
