He was going to be born in a couple of days. How could you not define that as a person? That is a viable life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Burnett covered the <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/BCaVnHejbZ0\">story<\/a> of Heather Surovik, who was days away from giving birth to her son, Brady. She was returning from her final prenatal checkup when a drunk driver on his fifth DUI smashed into her car. Although Heather and her other family members survived, Brady did not. Since Colorado law does not recognize pre-born children as persons, state prosecutors could charge the drunk driver only with destroying Heather&#8217;s vehicle, not with Brady&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p>The Surovik case is one of many similar Colorado cases, such as the death of an unborn baby at the Aurora theater shooting. During the segment, Burnett also covered a <a href=\"\/news\/in-case-of-dead-twins-catholic-hospital-claims-no-personhood-before-birth\/\">recent<\/a> medical malpractice case against Catholic Health Initiatives, which denied compensation to a widower who lost his unborn twins because they were not considered persons. In all these cases, justice was denied, and each family&#8217;s loss was belittled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thebradyproject.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26551 alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 11px;margin-right: 11px\" alt=\"Brady Project\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Brady-Project-300x197.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" \/><\/a>Immediately after Democrats and Planned Parenthood representatives quashed an abortion-neutral bill in the Colorado legislature to make fetal homicide a crime, Heather Surovik joined Personhood Colorado and Colorado Right to Life to file for an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.personhoodusa.com\/news\/personhood-colorado-files-new-amendment-unborn-victims-violence\">amendment<\/a> to the state constitution. Once approved, a signature campaign to put <a href=\"http:\/\/thebradyproject.wordpress.com\/\">The Brady Project<\/a> on the ballot will commence.<\/p>\n<p>After interviewing Heather and her mom, Erin Burnett was convinced that Brady should have been considered a person under Colorado law. So why has Colorado&#8217;s Democratic-controlled legislature shot down <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/blog\/colorado-fetal-homicide-bill-a-model-for-other-states\/\">previous<\/a> fetal homicide bills that would have protected him? Because admitting that killing Brady was a criminal offense puts the dishonest abortion narrative in jeopardy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because to do otherwise would put abortion money in jeopardy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":26560,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[11],"tags":[19,1549,1548,291,190,1550,407,1546,220,14,34,1052,1547],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CNN anchor: &quot;How can you not call that a person?&quot;
