Vote "No" on Amendment 79
Coloradans have a Right to Know how Amendment 79 hurts themselves and their loved ones.
Why vote "No" on Amendment 79?
This amendment creates a constitutional “right” to unrestricted abortion and allows for taxpayer-funded abortion by repealing the constitutional ban on public funding. This is what it means...
Parental Notice
It bans parental notice laws. There is no age restriction on abortion in Colorado; if a boyfriend or school counselor is pressuring a 15-year-old girl to have an abortion, that 15-year old’s parents have a right to know. But the amendment outlaws parental notice — it’s a constitutional amendment that forbids a parental notice requirement in Colorado.
Late Abortions
It bans any limits on late abortions. Even reasonable limits such as prohibiting abortions in the ninth month on healthy mothers and healthy babies would be illegal under the amendment — resulting in more third trimester abortions even after a baby can feel pain and survive outside of the womb.
Taxpayer Funding
It clears the way for taxpayer-funded abortion with no reasonable restrictions or limits of any kind. This includes the ability of the state legislature to force taxpayers to pay for late abortions for in-state and out-of-state pregnant women.
Reckless and Extreme
It goes far beyond what Roe v. Wade authorized, banning any reasonable limits. Colorado already has some of the strongest protections for abortion rights of any state in the nation by allowing legal protection for all nine months of pregnancy.
Help Us Stop This Reckless Constitutional Amendment
Abortion is already legal in Colorado. Amendment 79 goes too far -- 79 tramples on the rights of parents. It is too extreme for Colorado.
