The Personhood USA claims "to serve [[Jesus]] by being an Advocate for those who can not speak for themselves, the pre-born child." But it focuses initially on politically sensitive swing states like Montana, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada and Florida for its ballot initiatives, rather than solidly pro-life states where it would have a better chance of success.
