In 2008, the personhood initiative also lost in Colorado, and likewise failed to attain even 30% of the vote. It dragged down the [[pro-life]] congressional leader [[Marilyn Musgrave]], who ran more than 15 points better than the initiative did, but still lost her seat by a wide margin.

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.
