"Personhood" amendment fails by 3-1 margin
The anti-abortion Amendment 62, which sought constitutional rights for individuals "at the beginning of biological development," lost Tuesday night by a 3-to-1 margin — the same as the 2008 vote on a nearly identical measure.

However, supporters of 62, known as the "Personhood Amendment," said they considered their campaign victorious because it "helped save babies' lives."

"We're excited to try again next election," said Personhood Colorado spokeswoman Jennifer Mason.

"What part of 'no' don't they understand?" asked "No on 62" campaign director Fofi Mendez.

Even with all of this of what's going on last night, when you put the issue of abortion into the hands of the voter, then they will still support a woman's right to choose.
