CO Abortion Ban Fails To Qualify For Ballot


In Colorado, On the same day, an Abortion Rights Initiative Submitted nearly Double the Signatures needed for the November Election.

An Initiative seeking to Ban Abortion will Not appear on Colorado's Ballot in November, after that Campaign Failed to Collect enough Legitimate Signatures to Qualify.

The Campaign behind Initiative 81: Protections for a Living Child, says it collected "tens of thousands of signatures" but fell Short of the 124,238 it needed to turn in by April 18th.

If Approved by Voters, the Ballot Measure would have Banned Abortion at any point after Conception, classifying it as Homicide.

"God gave us a choice between life and death for our state," Faye Barnhart, who Co-led the Campaign, said in a Statement.

"Many didn’t have the faith or vision to see this amazing window of opportunity to lead our state to choose life. We mourn the loss of these children’s lives because we didn’t do everything we could to save them."

The Anti-Abortion Measure's failure, comes on the same day that a Pro-Abortion-Rights Campaign, says it turned in nearly 240,000 Signatures in Support of Ballot Measure, Initiative 89: Right to Abortion.

That Proposal asks Voters to enshrine the Right to Abortion in the State Constitution, and also allow State Funds, including Medicaid and State Employee Health Insurance, to be used to Pay for Abortions.
