In 1967, Colorado became the first state to reform its abortion law based on the American Law Institute (ALI) recommendation. The new Colorado statute permitted abortions if the pregnant woman’s life or physical or mental health were endangered, if the fetus would be born with a severe physical or mental defect, or if the pregnancy had resulted from rape or incest. Other states began to follow suit, and by 1972, 13 states had so-called ALI statutes.
Colorado is the only state in the nation with a personhood amendment on the upcoming November ballot. The personhood amendment states that life begins at conception.
Jesus, You are the way, the truth, and the life. We speak Your holy name over the upcoming election in Colorado. Amen.
