Colorado RTL's letter to the editor in today's Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper (Focus on the Family's hometown paper):
SAVE THE CHILDREN
Regulating abortions doesn't end the practice

I never said that a bill requiring Colorado abortionists to offer an ultrasound to women, "would have done nothing to stop women from getting abortions" ("Abortion sides agree," The Gazette, Feb. 12; "Corrections," The Gazette, March 1). Of course such a law would have the possibility of saving the lives of some precious children.

Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper:

Regulating Abortions Doesn't End the Practice

I never said that a bill requiring Colorado abortionists to offer an ultrasound to women, "would have done nothing to stop women from getting abortions" ("Abortion sides agree," The Gazette, Feb. 12; "Corrections," The Gazette, March 1). Of course such a law would have the possibility of saving the lives of some precious children.

Colorado Right to Life opposes every law that regulates the killing of unborn children
because regardless of the intention, such laws violate God's enduring command, "Do not murder;"
because they merely prune the abortion weed and strengthen its root;
because such laws make abortion seem more palatable to the public and to politicians;
because our conservative judges who uphold such laws become increasingly hostile to the right to life of the unborn; and
because if Roe v. Wade is overturned, such laws will keep abortion legal in Colorado,
because they end with the meaning, "and then you can kill the baby."

Joe Riccobono
President, Colorado Right to Life
Denver

Colorado Right To Life thanks all pro-lifers who went to our 2008 state caucus. We've heard from our members who went and gathered many personhood petition signatures, from those who introduced and passed personhood resolutions...

For Immediate Release (January 21, 2008):

Colorado RTL Watching Weitz Designation
Billion-dollar Firm May Get Hit with Permanent Collaborator Status

Colorado Right To Life is watching to see if the Weitz construction firm will be designated with Permanent Collaborator Status. A new anti-abortion group, called the Collaborators Project, has given The Weitz Company, a billion-dollar construction firm, a deadline of January 31, 2008, to stop constructing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Denver. "If Weitz does not cease from constructing this abortion facility by January 31st," said the Collaborators Project founder Will Duffy, "we will designate their firm with Permanent Collaborator Status."

Join Colorado Right to Life at the State Capitol for the March For Life on Saturday January 19th at 1:30pm.

 

A local TV news report regards a Denver Public School proposal to distribute birth control and the morning after pill to high school students:

Denver's CBS affiliate News 4 reporter Raj Chohan: Not everyone agrees. Groups like Colorado Right to Life strongly oppose the plan, and believe it will send a wrong message to kids in high risk communities.

Bob Enyart, CRTL: A Denver Public School is a good place to send your daughter to become sexually active. Now, the task force wants to make it more efficient, condoms to the boys, abortion pills to your daughter, get her ready for the next guy to use her. It's called godless education.

One of our truth truck banners was stolen at our annual Light on Life banquet by someone who wanted our message silenced. Our banner with Margaret Sanger's quote, "We don't want the word out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," was removed by someone obviously sympathetic to Planned Parenthood and determined to silence the truth. This message is extremely important at this time when Planned Parenthood is attempting to build a mega killing center in a minority neighborhood. If you'd like to help Colorado Right to Life replace this valuable educational tool, please contribute on line or call 303-753-9394. A police report was filed and we are pursuing justice for this crime.
