Colorado Republican Cory Gardner has suddenly reversed his pro-life stance in a triangulated effort to appeal to moderate Democrats who might cross the aisle from Democrat Senator Mark Udall's side to vote Republican in the upcoming elections.

Gardner was on record as a supporter of a ballot measure to grant a fertilized egg the same status as a person. But now, he is suddenly against that measure as he gears up his campaign for the general election. He is also a past supporter of the Life Begins at Conception Act.

But now he says he is against the idea of personhood for a fertilized egg. "This was a bad idea driven by good intentions," Gardner told The Denver Post. "I was not right. I can't support personhood now. I can't support personhood going forward. To do it again would be a mistake."

A Congressman from Colorado's Fourth District situated just to the east of Denver, Gardner is now maintaining that such a measure would somehow make contraception illegal. Some even feel that such a measure would outlaw abortion and Gardner wants to avoid this discussion.

It's not like the state recognizes personhood of adults, so good call there, guy.

Flip flopping is always a concern unless you agree with the direction of the flop. In this case I'd be more favorable to vote for the guy. Life at conception acts imo go too far and offer little in ways of preventing abortions.
