Amendment 79 would amend the Colorado state constitution to prevent state or local governments from restricting access to abortion in the future. This amendment would also remove the state restriction on using public funding for abortions, allowing Medicaid to cover the cost of abortions, and allowing coverage for abortion to be added to the state employees’ health plans.
IndivisibleNOCO recommends voting YES on Amendment 79.
Amendment 79 will enshrine the right to abortion into the Colorado Constitution. The measure safeguards an individual’s ability to make their own heath care decisions and protects women’s access to reproductive healthcare.
