Later, the editorial spews some drivel about interfering with women’s health, which I assume meant pregnancy. News flash! Pregnancy is a natural occurrence; if it were an illness and treated as such, our species would be dying out. (It only became a “health” issue in 2012, used to distract from Democrats’ failures.) Fortunately, pregnancy is optional. There are 20 sure-fire ways to prevent it, which can be bought, received at no charge at Planned Parenthood or at a federal office. If these were to fail, then legal abortion is an option. Abortion is essentially unfettered in Colorado.

Then the editorial asks if Amendment 67 is necessary with House Bill 1154. Well, that is subjective. House speaker Mark Ferrandino didn’t think Jessica’s Law was necessary, but many child rapists were plea bargaining to get little or no prison time. Because of public pressure, aided by Bill O’Reilly, finally, a version was passed. Currently, if a woman is assaulted and her unborn baby dies, the assailant will not be charged with murder.
