DENVER (KDVR) – Colorado voters rejected Proposition 115, The Associated Press reports.
The measure would have banned abortion after 22 weeks of pregnancy.
As of about 9:50 p.m., 59% of votes tabulated were against the measure, with 82% of precincts reporting.
After Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death in September, a designated representative of the proposal told FOX31 and Channel 2 that she wanted voters to know her intent was not to take away the right to an abortion.

“Ginsburg was a great jurist. She did a lot to advance the rights of women. Right here, we are concentrating on restricting late-term abortion. This is something very reasonable, we are not trying to take away the rights of women to decide what to do with their pregnancy,” said Giuliana Day.
Opponents argued the measure would have been the first step in removing reproductive health rights.
“It bans abortions later in pregnancy with no exceptions for rape, for risk to a pregnant woman’s health or if she receives a lethal fetal diagnosis. There is nothing reasonable about Proposition 115, it’s cruel,” said Stefanie Clarke, a spokesperson for VoteNo115.com.
The proposition did call for an exception if a doctor says the life of the mother is at risk during the pregnancy.
Currently, Colorado does not regulate when someone can get an abortion.

COMMENTbe a g_dless state and no religion exists for them to allow this. Shame.
Between the quite likely win of Biden and these sort of propositions which fly in the face of God we are most likely entering a period of trial and difficulty. God sent the Israelites into exile because of the way they were NOT following him. A lesson to be learned. Sadly, God may be doing the same today.
I live in Colorado (For Now) It is a Godless crap hole.
All these people that profess to be Catholic or some other religion and support this and still think they are religious…..Their religion is their politics in other words serving the devil.
That’s down to all the commies from CA, fleeing to Colorado, and POISONING THAT STATE with their liberal ideas..
No fences on the state lines. Go and be blessed. Just know that you will soon be surrounded by liberals wherever you go. Even Texas is no longer reliably conservative. The left is buying elections. That’s what happened to Colorado and it’s what’s happening in Texas and other states.
I’m a Christian and I voted to limit abortion. So did all the Christians I know. And all the pastors I know were covering this issue in their sermons and with reminders to their congregations. This was a highly discussed topic among real Christians. Seems like anyone following a Christian pastor would know that.
The sad fact is that there are more heathens everywhere than there are people of God. Instead of blaming Christians maybe you should try blaming the Godless Democrats who support killing living babies as they exit the womb. Those people are not Christians no matter what they may claim.
Truly it’s a pity there ARE NOT fences on those borders!!! maybe AZ, CO and other states wouldn’t have gotten corrupted by all the idiots leaving CA, and bringing their insanity with them!!
Murderer’s!
