Unlike many of their counterparts in the Main Stream Media (MSM), the people at the Chicago Tribune apparently paid attention in high school biology class (free subscription required).  The paper reports on a campaign across the country, and specifically in Colorado, to recognize the personhood of human embryos.  Many MSM sources often misrepresent these campaigns as seeking to “give rights to fertilized eggs” (as AdvanceUSA previously reported).  As all good biology teachers will tell you, once an egg is fertilized it ceases to be just an egg and becomes a singled celled human being (a zygote which subsequently develops into an embryo).  Recognizing that human life begins at the moment of fertilization would be a huge victory for the pro-life movement, and AdvanceUSA applauds the efforts of Coloradans and others who are attempting to protect the smallest and most vulnerable among us.
