Colorado's Abortion Amendment 79--Why It Matters

***Warning: This episode talks about sensitive topics***

November 5, 2024 is a crucial election in the United States for many reasons. The country is polarized. Even many states are polarized.

Colorado's Amendment 79 would enshrine abortion as a fundamental right into the state constitution. It would even allow the legislature to pass laws that pay for it on demand with taxes.

Colorado is the premier destination for abortion in the country. The state has no restrictions on abortion.

Could Amendment 79 and future laws based on it encourage people from outside the state to flock in and make residents pay to end the life of their unborn children. Could the language of the amendment set up barriers to stopping human trafficking?

Pray for Colorado. Speak the truth.
