This is nuts! Please share with everyone who knows anyone in Colorado. We’ve seen these tactics before in states like Georgia & Alabama. A ban on abortion later in pregnancy is a step to banning abortion outright. Coloradans can stop Prop 115. voteno115.com #NoOn115
The proponents of this initiative have been clear — they want to force a woman to continue a pregnancy with no exceptions for health or individual circumstances — even in cases of rape, risks to the woman’s health, or a lethal fetal diagnosis. #NoOn115
Coloradans have trusted patients, families, and physicians to make these decisions, not politicians. Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters have repeatedly rejected abortion bans at the ballot in the past. This is a fundamental CO value that crosses party lines. #NoOn115
•Proposition 115 makes no exceptions for individual circumstances. Most abortion care happens earlier in pregnancy. However, many people in CO, particularly people of color, immigrants, young people, and low-income families face other systemic barriers to accessing...
abortion care earlier in pregnancy. Health should guide important personal, medical decisions about pregnancy — not political agendas.
•Abortion later in pregnancy represents about one percent of all abortion care.
If this politically-motivated effort succeeds in Colorado in 2020, it will embolden the proponents to pursue bans even earlier in pregnancy, with the ultimate goal of restricting all abortion access in Colorado and across the country. #NoOn115

From my #PhoneBanking session a couple weeks ago. I SAVED A VOTE by helping Wendy fix her incorrect registration! These last two weekends are the most crucial for #GOTV efforts. Sign up and make calls starting today. We need you. thelastweekends.org/doit Let’s get to work! #Vote
This stuff ain’t easy or the most comfortable for lots of folks. It’s not always comfortable for me. I’ve been hung up on many times, sometimes I feel awkward and ridiculous making calls, but then I help someone and I know there are thousands of others doing this work with me.
There’s more at stake right now than our comfort. These calls literally can save us from four more years of Trump. Know that thousands of people are making these phone calls with you and turning out thousands more Biden votes. If you’ve resisted because you’re uncomfortable......

RV Return - We traveled out west with our son to visit our other son and his partner. Our first RV experience. Then our son abandoned us to our own devices for the return trip, but he provided chocolate cake for the journey. Back in July.
RV Return - Chocolate Cake and Oxygen. I was at high altitude in Colorado.
