BISMARK, ND, Feb 18 /Standard Newswire/ -- Signaling the growing momentum of the personhood movement, North Dakota lawmakers approved HB 1572 with a vote of 51-41.

Rep. Dan Ruby introduced the "Personhood" bill, which affirms the rights of pre-born humans and states: "For purposes of interpretation of the constitution and laws of North Dakota, it is the intent of the legislative assembly that an individual, a person, when the context indicates that a reference to an individual is intended, or a human being includes any organism with the genome of homo sapiens."

Thousands of calls to legislators were made by pro-life grassroots volunteers who helped with this victory. Only one representative voiced opposition to the bill during the debate of the bill, while overwhelming public support was seen.

"Personhood USA applauds the leadership and support that the North Dakota Life League and North Dakota Family Alliance have shown to make this victory happen," stated Keith Mason of Personhood USA. He continued, "We thank Rep. Dan Ruby for his courage and for being actively pro-life. This great family man with his wife and 10 children are an example to us all."

"North Dakotans have gotten used to cold temperatures like -44 degrees, but they haven't gotten used to child-killing. We applaud and support their efforts to protect every baby by love and by law," commented Cal Zastrow, who, along with his family, worked on the North Dakota bill at the grassroots level.

The next step for HB 1572 is to be voted on by the ND Senate which could happen in the next two weeks.

"HB 1572 brings us one step closer to applying the same laws that apply to you and me, to all humans," said Daniel Woodard, lobbyist with North Dakota Life League.

Personhood USA is a grassroots Christian organization founded to establish personhood efforts across America to create protection for every child by love and by law. Personhood USA is committed to assisting and supporting Personhood Legislation and Constitutional Amendments and building local pro-life organizations through raising awareness of the personhood of the pre-born.

Now that we have someone in the White House who is willing to overlook the murder of children, Americans are really going to have to decide where they stand. In fact, I'm beginning to think that Obama might be good for the pro-life movement in some ways. Maybe people need someone to stand against in order to really be willing to stand at all.
While we as a country bury ourselves further in debt and worry about "global warming", babies are being mercilessly slaughtered. We kill our children and then we wonder why there are so many problems. A nation that murders its own isn't headed in a good direction.

Yesterday morning I checked my e-mail to find an update from Personhood USA. The above article is what I found. I honestly didn't know what to do. After Ammendment 48in Colorado failed, I was greatly discouraged. When I read that e-mail, it was a wake up call for me. To me it said that God lives and He cares for the babies. He hears the prayers of His people. If God cares even for the sparrows, of course He cares for these beautiful innocent children whose silent screams are being ignored by our nation. But not everyone in our nation is ignoring them. North Dakota is an example to every other state. They have taken a huge step forward in the war for our children.
