Another great piece from @BySajaHindi @denverpost on how, with Roe overturned, Colorado legislators plan to build on the abortion rights protections in last year's Reproductive Health Equity Act.
#copolitics #coleg
"Karen Middleton, executive director of Cobalt, said the reproductive rights group has received reports of doctors in Colorado getting called by doctors in Texas threatening to report them because a patient had mentioned they’d provided them with an abortion. The proposed bill
would protect the privacy of both the doctors and their patients from potential lawsuits and criminal charges.
“We’re seeing more legislation like what we passed last year and more of a push to actions in some states, and we’ll continue to see outrageous bills in states that already have no access to abortion,” Middleton said.

Again, for the 85th time: the bigoted baker's opinion of someone else's choice in a life partner is in fact irrelevant. There's a whole world out there of people living their life different than you that's none of your business.
Shut up and bake the damn cake. #copolitics
Also I didn't notice the bigoted baker objecting to making cakes for people on their second or third marriage, and the Bible talks about divorce a lot more than gay people. His "religious objections" are completely subjective and irrational.
When you're a public/customer service business, you have to follow public accommodation/civil rights laws, including protected classes like LGBTQ Coloradans.
If you don't want to serve the public, get out of the public service business.

@hollyotterbein @ec_schneider this is a lie. O'Dea wasn't drowned out, he lied about his record on abortion. He voted for *and signed a petition* for a no-exceptions abortion ban ballot measure.
And if you'd called abortion rights groups we would have told you that. #copolitics
We're the ones who found O'Dea's signature on the abortion ban ballot petition.
We've been talking to voters about abortion in Colorado for *14 years*.
I beg you, please stop taking Republican operatives at their word because they don't know a damn thing.
Furthermore, it's *insulting* to tell Colorado voters who strongly support abortion rights that it was spending that did it.
I can tell you grassroots groups here worked their ass off on voter contact, and they deserve credit for doing the work.

Every word of this piece. Abortion bans mean poor women will get poorer and more women and babies, especially in communities of color, will suffer and die. Because abortion bans are about power, not 'life'. #copolitics

Here's what the male & Republicans pundits are missing about abortion as an 'issue': how deeply, profoundly personal it is to live in a female reproductive body and the challenges it presents.
Much of your life is spent trying not to get pregnant, trying to get pregnant,
or worried that you are pregnant and figuring out what to do about it.
As I put it, one in four American women has had an abortion and most of the rest of us have, at some point, peed on a stick in a bathroom and bargained with God.
Pregnancy loss is extremely common and under-discussed - 10-20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. Pregnancy itself, even in the year 2022, is exponentially more dangerous than an abortion. It's especially risky for women of color.
