Judge Overrules Misleading MO Anti-Cloning Ballot Language
- Feb 26, 2008
For the second time, a Missouri judge has overruled Mo. Sec. of State Robin Carnahan’s anti-cloning initiative ballot language.
“We are gratified that the court recognized the blatant misconduct of the Secretary of State and ruled to protect our constitutional rights as Missouri citizens,” an e-mail from Missourians Against Human Cloning stated. “Judge Joyce has provided an impartial ballot summary that will allow the voters to make a fair decision regarding the Cures Without Cloning Initiative.”
Opponents to the constitutional amendment designed to overturn Amendment 2, an initiative that placed the right to clone and kill babies for research purposes in the Mo. Constitution, immediately filed a motion to stay the judge’s order and appeal to the Mo. Court of Appeals.
