Florida Independent
Personhood Florida, the group behind Florida's controversial "Personhood Amendment," recently announced a "big push" to gather petitions for the initiative in order to ensure it makes its way to the 2012 ballot. In a recent interview with The Florida Independent, the head of the group, Pastor Bryan Longworth, discussed a plan to spread information about the initiative to state churches and pastors in January, to coincide with the anniversary of Roe v. Wade: "We're planning our big push for January. ... We hope that pastors will have a pro-life sermon ... and include information about the Personhood Amendment and give attendants a chance to sign the petition."
