[From the Archives of Our Bodies, Our Blog](/blog)# Updates on Egg Personhood, Campus Contraception

By Rachel Walden • November 19, 2007

Please note: This entry -- originally posted at [Our Bodies, Our Blog](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/blog) -- has not been updated since the publication date listed above.

Last week, we noted that [a Colorado ballot initiative](/2007/11/colorado-moves-toward-defining-fertilized-egg/) is in the works that would define a fertilized egg as a person with full Constitutional rights. As it turns out, Montana has a similar effort in the works, as do Georgia, Oregon, Michigan and South Carolina.  
  
We also noted a House bill to [restore contraception pricing](/2007/11/bill-introduced-to-restore-campus-contracepti/) on college campuses. A companion bill, [S.2347](http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:s.2347:), has been introduced in the Senate by Barack Obama. It currently has 22 co-sponsors and has been referred to the Senate Finance committee.
