Initiative 120
Did you know that abortion is legal in Colorado through all 9 months of pregnancy? Even pro-choice Americans overwhelmingly oppose late-term abortion, according to Americans United for Life. Archbishop Samuel Aquila urges all Catholics to get involved in putting Initiative 120 on next November's ballot.
Initiative 120 prohibits abortion in Colorado after 22 weeks of gestation, making it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine to perform or attempt to perform a prohibited abortion, except when the abortion is immediately required to save the life of the pregnant woman. A woman who obtains an abortion may not be charged with a crime. To read the full initiative or for more information, visit www.DueDateTooLate.com.
