Harris calls for eliminating filibuster to pass ‘Roe’ abortion bill into federal law

By Jamie Joseph  | Fox News Vice President Kamala Harris said she backs eliminating the 60-vote filibuster requirement in order to reinstate Roe v. Wade, which would federalize abortion access nationwide, during a Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) interview Tuesday.  The filibuster is a Senate rule that allows a minority to block legislation pending a supermajority vote, so ending it would make it easier to pass laws related to abortion rights. "I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe," Harris said on the "Wisconsin Today" show. "And get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and...

Pueblo City Council meets for proposed abortion ordinance

By Carolynn Felling | Fox 21 News The topic of banning abortion centers in Pueblo was back at the center of a heated discussion during a Pueblo City Council meeting on Monday, Sept. 23. In the meeting, three presentations were given touching on different abortion related topics. One of which is Amendment 79, a ballot measure that would create a right to abortion in Colorado and repeal the State Constitution’s ban on government funds for abortion. “I want to start by saying the only reason that we’re here having this hearing is because people’s feelings are hurt, that they can’t control women’s choices and bodies,” said City Council woman Sarah Martinez, District 3.

Barnhart: Two years ago, today, Supreme Court ruled favorably in the Dobbs case

By Faye Barnhart | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice It has been two years since the seemingly impossible happened with the overturn of Roe v. Wade in the historic Dobbs decision. Taking a similar course to slavery in the United States, the Supreme Court had made an overarching dismissal of all 50 states laws that previous to 1973 limited or outlawed abortion in all the states. Even in Colorado -- the first notorious state for allowing abortion -- it was originally limited to 16 weeks and needed a three-panel of doctors and the permission of the husband. As archaic as that may sound, it shows how compromising with evil has gotten us to where we are today, where more than 2,000 children are legally tortured to death every month in Colorado, from conception through all nine months ...

Every state facing deceptive, unlimited abortion ballot measures this November

By JORDAN BOYD | The Federalist Democrats and their abortion giant allies want to legalize killing unborn babies throughout all nine months of gestation in every state. A majority of U.S. adults reject that position, but that fact hasn’t stopped the ballot measure battle that plagued Ohio last year from infiltrating several other states, including those controlled by Republicans, during the 2024 election cycle. Read about the iniotiatives on the ballot and which could be on the ballot, including in Colorado, here. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Barnhart: Abortion doesn’t belong in Colorado’s Constitution

By Faye Barnhart | Guest Columnist Colorado has one of the most extreme laws in the world. It allows children to be poisoned, scalded, stabbed, starved, dismembered or otherwise inhumanely killed by any means from all nine months of pregnancy up to the point of birth. To call these “procedures” to end the life of a living human being “healthcare” would be laughable were it not so barbaric and tragic. Right now, Colorado allows the killing of children any time during the pregnancy.  And now, extremists want to put an amendment on the Colorado ballot requiring health insurance and taxpayer funds to pay for these practices and to be added to the Colorado Constitution as a “right”. Killing people has never been a right, nor should it ever be. Pregnancy and childbirth are healthy....

Barnhart: Abortion is Not Healthcare

By Faye Barnhart | Guest Columnist Abortion is not healthcare. Abortion intentionally tortures a child to death. Abortion violates a mother's body to rip away her child by unnaturally stretching her cervix or putting her into preterm labor and painfully dismembering her child or poisoning, starving, or scalding her child so that she delivers a dead baby. There is nothing healthy or caring about that. Abortion is the opposite of healthcare in that it intentionally causes death and unnecessary pain and suffering. There is no reason to intentionally take away the life of a child. Natural childbirth or Caesarean section intended to save the child’s life are safer for mother, too. It is more dangerous for a mother to deliver a dead baby than a living one, as the living child helps posi...

Trump’s abortion stance prompts pushback from Lindsey Graham, others rally behind former president

By Elizabeth Elkind , Julia Johnson  | FOX News A top Republican senator and Trump-endorser is among those criticizing the former president over his Monday announcement on abortion, in which he claimed restrictions on the procedure should be decided by individual states.  "I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a statement on Monday morning.  Trump made his much-anticipated announcement in a video the same day, stating his belief that the states should legislate their own limitations on abortion rather than the federal government.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Over a million dollars raised in push to add abortion guarantee to the Colorado Constitution

By Mike Krause | SOURCE: COMPLETE COLORADO PAGE TWO DENVER–Proponents of a citizen-initiated ballot measure to place a guarantee of abortion access in Colorado’s state Constitution have spent over $440,000 just on signature gathering towards the effort, with the campaign reporting there’s plenty more where that came from. According to the Jan. 16 contributions and expenditures filing with the Colorado Secretary of State, the issue committee pushing the measure–Coloradans for Protecting Reproductive Freedom–has raised $1,368,811 thus far, while spending just $578, 488, leaving over $790,000 in cash on hand, likely more than enough to ensure the question ends up in front of voters. Currently numbered as Initiative 89, the measure would add a new section to the Colorad...

Boebert’s Permissive Attitude Towards Teen Pregnancy Raises Concerns for Voters in Both CD3 and CD4

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM Colorado Representative and now carpetbagger Lauren Boebert's recent comments about teen pregnancy and her own experiences with contraception have sparked controversy and raised questions about her permissive attitude towards this issue. Both have drawn criticism from conservatives who believe in promoting responsible behavior and traditional family values. During a House Oversight Committee hearing in May 2023, Boebert shared a personal story about the conception of her third son. She revealed that she couldn't afford her birth control prescription and decided to forgo it, leading to her unintended third pregnancy. https://www.youtube.com/embed/lvJGyRd0EJA?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1 May 23, 2023 "My staff is probably going to talk to me about...

Colorado Democrats pass resolution declaring Jan. 22 Roe v. Wade Anniversary Day

By Marissa Ventrelli  | SOURCE: COLORADO POLITICS The legislature has passed a resolution designating Jan. 22 as "Roe v. Wade Anniversary Day" in Colorado. On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized abortion as a legal right, a decision overturned in the 2022 case Dobbs vs. Jackson.  The Colorado resolution, sponsored by Democrats from both the House and the Senate, states that the Dobbs decision "resulted in significant physical and mental trauma as well as significant financial burden on people no longer able to access abortion care where they live and who must seek care elsewhere."  The resolution passed 21-13 in the Senate and 41-14 in the House.  READ FULL ARTICLE ON COLORADOPOLITICS.COM
