Standing for life in the upcoming election in Colorado is vital in light of a pro-abortion amendment called the “Colorado Right to Abortion.” If passed, this amendment would establish a fundamental “right” to abortion in the state’s constitution. It would ensure that Colorado remains one of the most pro-abortion states in the nation.
Why should Christians stand for life?
Christians are called to uphold the sanctity of life, recognizing that human life is sacred because every human being is created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27). Scripture affirms that God knows us before we are formed in the womb (Jer. 1:5) and that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” by him (Ps. 139). Christians guided by the truths of God’s Word should recognize the threat abortion represents for our preborn neighbors and should stand for life.
Stand for life in Colorado
A “no” vote prevents abortion from being enshrined into the constitution as a fundamental right. Colorado currently allows abortion through all stages of pregnancy.
A “yes” vote supports amending the Colorado Constitution to enshrine a “right to abortion.” Additionally, if passed, this amendment would expand access to abortion by allowing health insurance plans, including government-funded plans, to cover abortions and would make it more challenging to pass and implement future pro-life laws.
