50 pro-choice seats are at-risk in our State Legislature.
An amendment to ban abortion is on the ballot in Colorado.
2010 is a critical election year for reproductive rights.
Every volunteer makes a difference.
Every dollar matters.
Every vote counts.

Did You Know?
- Colorado lawmakers have voted on more than 10 bills related to reproductive rights & reproductive health since 2007.
- Legislators have rejected 4 anti-choice bills that would have banned abortion, added onerous burdens to abortion access, imposed the death penalty for abortions, and opened the door to government investigation of sex-ed classes.
- If Roe v. Wade is overturned, safe, legal abortion access depends on laws enacted at the state level.
- It took 5 years – and a new governor – to pass a law making sure sexual assault survivors received information about how to prevent unintended pregnancy after the assault.
