The El Paso County Democratic Party, along with our esteemed Colorado Democratic Party, gives a resounding Yes to Amendment 79—and rightly so. This measure would forever safeguard the right to abortion in our state’s constitution, ensuring Colorado remains a sanctuary for reproductive freedom, no matter what regressive forces may be at work elsewhere.
In an era where certain parties seem all too eager to drag us back to a time of draconian control over women’s bodies, Amendment 79 is a breath of fresh air. A Yes vote guarantees that healthcare decisions remain exactly where they belong—in the hands of women and their doctors. No political games, no interference, just a fundamental right protected as it should be. Let us keep Colorado on the right side of history, shall we?
