Yes, you read that right. I’ll let the story speak for itself.

A measure approved by the North Dakota House gives a fertilized human egg the legal rights of a human being, a step that would essentially ban abortion in the state. The bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that extended abortion rights nationwide, supporters of the legislation said. (emphasis added)
…
The bill declares that “any organism with the genome of homo sapiens” is a person protected by rights granted by the North Dakota Constitution and state laws.

I guess we know where North Dakota stands on harvesting stem cells from embryos. I await Obama’s comments on this vote. Any thoughts on what he’ll say?
