Bishops want to gut personhood bill in North Dakota

KQCD-TV News

North Dakota`s two Roman Catholic bishops say they can`t support a bill that tries to define when human life begins, unless it is changed. Paul Zipfel and Samuel Aquila say they support the bill`s concept. But they say its language raises a number of questions about what its effects would be. The bill says North Dakota law should regard a human being as "any organism with the genome of homo sapiens." It`s intended to extend the rights of a human being to a fertilized egg. The bishops are supporting changes that say human life begins at conception, and that unborn children have "certain" rights. They say their preferred language is clearer. The proposed changes say the bill isn`t intended to penalize (prosecute) women who harm (murder) their unborn children indirectly by drinking, taking drugs or not following a prenatal care program.
