Court Orders Release of Larimer Autopsy Report in Transparency Dispute

By: Cory Gaines | Commentary, Complete Colorado Abortion is obviously a polarizing topic.  While this column touches on the subject, it’s not the actual focus.  Rather, it’s about something I hope we can all agree on: transparency.
