Uh, Personhood would ban birth control, so you can't really be for personhood and also for requiring health insurance to provide birth control. For amendment 67, yes means a vote FOR the personhood amendment, and for Illinois, yes means a vote FOR requiring health insurance companies to provide birth control.

"Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution protecting pregnant women and unborn children by defining "person" and "child" in the Colorado criminal code and the Colorado wrongful death act to include unborn human beings?"

Pretty sure 67 is limited to the issue of abortion, not birth control...

Since it is including everything from the moment of conception, it does ban some (albeit not all) forms of birth control - forms of birth control that the Illinois law would require health insurance to provide.

The other reason personhood is so bad is that it is a complete ban on abortion - no exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother - a complete ban under all circumstances.

Uh, Personhood would ban birth control, so you can't really be for personhood and also for requiring health insurance to provide birth control. For amendment 67, yes means a vote FOR the personhood amendment, and for Illinois, yes means a vote FOR requiring health insurance companies to provide birth control.

"Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution protecting pregnant women and unborn children by defining "person" and "child" in the Colorado criminal code and the Colorado wrongful death act to include unborn human beings?"

Pretty sure 67 is limited to the issue of abortion, not birth control...
Since it is including everything from the moment of conception, it does ban some (albeit not all) forms of birth control - forms of birth control that the Illinois law would require health insurance to provide.

The other reason personhood is so bad is that it is a complete ban on abortion - no exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother - a complete ban under all circumstances.

Would it also ban any drug that could interfere with implantation like aspirin and ibuprofen?

Conception doesn't occur if birth control is used, so there therefore can be no termination.

To clear this all up, I offer this from rationalwiki.org:

"Ramifications of fetal personhood

Personhood laws are thinly veiled attempts to circumvent Roe v. Wade, by making the fetal life as important (or in some ways, more important) than the wishes, health, or in some cases life of the woman who is carrying the fetus.
[edit]Serious
The single most important goal for any personhood law is to restrict, if not make totally illegal, the right to access abortions. If the zygote is a legal person, then Roe v. Wade was found on false grounds and no longer applies. Also, the idea of "viability" as a test no longer applies. A zygote or fetus must therefore be protected from being killed, just like any other person is.
Following that, most forms of hormonal birth control can potentially be attacked. Birth control works in two ways. First, it regulates the body so an egg is normally not released. No egg, no baby. However, sometimes an egg is released, but the hormones make the uterus a hostile environment for the zygote, causing it to pass out of the body with the woman's next cycle. If you assume a "person" begins at conception, birth control would necessarily be harmful to that person. Murder, if you will. The Virgina and Oklahoma State Legislators which are pushing personhood bills, were asked by those in opposition to put a basic rider protecting a woman's right to access hormonal birth control. In both cases, they gave a resounding "no", despite claims that they are not trying to make birth control illegal.
Another serious issue that is being brought up by ob-gyn's in the states trying to pass personhood laws, is the effect this will have on risky pregnancies, specifically ectopic pregnancy, because there is not sufficient legal markers/legal language to define a pregnancy as a "healthy one", nor define the rights of the fetus if it cannot survive[4].
Modern fertility treatments, specifically "in vitro" treatments would also become problematic. Currently, when a couple uses in vitro they will have several eggs harvested and fertilized at one time, "just in case" (usually between 5-10, with an implant of 2-4 of them[5]). The potential problem here, is that this practice creates thousands of zygotes, frozen in labs. Disposal of the fertilized egg can already be an ethical issue for the lab or parents, but this law would increase the complications. Potentially, all fertilized eggs must have a chance at life, so the couple would either have to only fertilize one egg at a time, or have twins, triplets and novemtuplets.
Less likely, but still possible ramifications can include drastic laws against smoking, drinking or drug use while pregnant. While most women who want to be pregnant limit or remove those from their lives during pregnancy, some women do not, and some women cannot. Especially if they do not want the child in the first place. Though likely a violation of their civil rights, women are already charged for child abuse if they use while pregnant; personhood laws only make that situation worse. One can imagine a woman addicted to drugs who is living on the streets. She cannot have an abortion, but any child she has will face extreme health problems if it survives to term. And our answer will be to put her in jail.
Any miscarriage can potentially be considered manslaughter or a murder, depending on what the woman did or did not do during her pregnancy.
[edit]Funny, in a sad kinda way
These are side effects of this law that are unlikely, but slightly amusing to think about in a sad, "what the hell is wrong with this picture" sort of way.
Mandatory checks to ensure a woman is not pregnant before she enters a bar, flies across country, deep sea dives or performs other activities that slightly increase her risk to miscarry.
Limits to a woman's right to use aspirin, which is known to increase the risk of miscarriage or lack of implantation in at-risk women. Got a headache? Too bad—you might be pregnant.
Limiting a woman's access to medical care. Things like synthetic thyroid, heart medication, acne drugs, and insulin can all have serious effects on a fetus and cause miscarriage. It is after all, a person.
Women can take out life insurance every single month, and collect the fees when, as usual, the baby doesn't implant though no fault of their own.
The division that produces identical twins occurs after fertilization - hence the term monozygotic. This would result in generating two "full persons" from just one. So, which is the original? Or has the original been killed and replaced by two new ones? Is there any legal precedent that would solve this absolute mess?
Pregnant women would be carrying full persons, so would be allowed in the carpool lane.
On the bright side, a fertilized zygote will always be accompanied by an adult should it be accidentally taken to an R-Rated movie.
The fetus can sue his siblings for a part of the estate.
Women will save blood from each period for official examination by authorities to determine whether or not it was an early miscarriage.
If authorities determine a period is a miscarriage, authorities will conduct an investigation to determine the cause [see above].
If an early miscarriage was caused by the actions of the mother, authorities will determine whether it was accidental or premeditated and charge the mother with manslaughter or homicide as the case may be.
Women/couples with a history of miscarriage might be banned from attempting to reproduce at all, since the risk of the loss of a human life would be so great. In fact, since 31% of pregnancies are lost before 20 weeks gestation[6], all attempts at reproduction might be considered reckless endangerment since they clearly "[create] a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to another person".[7]"

Are you aware of the debate about emergency contraception?  Republicans believe that anything that interferes with the implantation is tantamount to abortion for some crazy reason.
