Nevada Court Throws Out “Personhood Initiative”

An interesting ballot initiative case from our neighboring state:

A Nevada State court today threw out a proposed ballot initiative which attempted to define a person as someone "possessing a human genome."  The initiative–which sought to define the beginning of life–was challenged by Planned Parenthood.  The judge said that the initiative was too vague.  Supporters responded that although the language was intentially broad, it was not vague.  You can read the SF Gate article on the decision here.
