Colorado pro-life advocates received the go-ahead Wednesday to begin collecting signatures for a ballot measure that would make it illegal to abort an unborn baby.

Pro-lifers need at least 124,632 valid signatures if they want Initiative 56 to appear on the November ballot, Colorado Newsline reports.

The initiative would ban all abortions by prohibiting the “murder of a child” from the moment his/her life begins under Colorado law. Exceptions would be allowed if the mother’s life is at risk.

“Children shall be protected equally from murder and not discriminated against based on age or level of development,” the proposal states. “Every child, regardless of age, developmental ability or disability, health, prognosis, sex/gender, socio-economic background, origin, nationality or ethnicity deserves to live his or her own life to the fullest extent possible.”
