Colorado early voting may begin as early as October 14th.

Vote NO #79
that puts killing children into our state Constitution
Action Steps
Action steps every individual, group, and church can do to save lives!
​​
Please oppose #79 because children will be killed! It is a dangerous amendment that removes any protections of women and children and forces every tax payer to pay for and participate in harm to women and children's deaths.
​
1. Pray repentance for ourselves, families, communities, state, and nation, and protection of these preborn infants.
2. Educate your congregation about the humanity of preborn children, the truth about abortion*, and the non-violent resources available to mothers. Abortion causes unnecessary pain and suffering to mothers and death to children. Abortion is not healthcare and not necessary.
3. Register churchgoers to vote! Mobilize churchgoers and your community to register to vote and vote "NO" on #79. Please share this Church Toolkit to help mobilize your community.
​​
Please share this 1-minute video with your church!
The abortion amendment on the Colorado ballot would require unlimited abortion in our state funded by our taxpayer dollars.
​​
The amendment prevents parental involvement and any safeguards for women or underage girls sex trafficked, coerced, or abused.
​​
The amendment violates the child's right to live. It is an unjust law against God's command, "thou shalt not kill (murder innocent human beings)".
