NO ON AMENDMENT 79 "CO N ST I T U T I O N A L R I G H T TO A B O RT I O N " T his amendment creates a constitutional "right" to unrestricted, unregu- lated abortion for all 40 weeks of pregnancy – even on healthy mothers and babies— and allows for taxpayer-funded abortion by repealing the constitutional ban on public funding. This ballot proposal also bans parental noti- fication laws in Colorado, so und- eraged girls could be coerced into an abortion by their boyfriend or school counselor and her parents are not required to be notified. This amendment also bans any future laws protecting the life of preborn children at all stages of development, even late abortion, when preborn babies can feel pain and survive outside the womb. Pro-abortion lawmakers and the pro-abortion lobby are sponsoring this amendment to make Colorado a national "safe haven" for abor- tion and to allow the Colorado legislature to allocate millions of dollars annually for late abor- tion for in-state and out-of-state women, paid for by Colorado tax- payers.

NO ON AMENDMENT J " P R OT EC T I N G T H E F R E E D O M TO M A R RY " T his amendment will remove the constitutional definition of marriage as the "union of one man and one woman." While Obergefell made same-sex marriage status quo, there are still important considerations concerning a ballot measure to remove the definition of marriage from the constitution. Marriage is based on the truth that men and women are complementary, the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and the social science that supports the realit y that children need both a mother and a father to f lourish. This amendment rejects the truth of what marriage is. YES ON AMENDMENT 80 " R I G H T TO SC H O O L C H O I C E " T his amendment would create a constitutional "right to school choice" for every K-12 child and a right for parents "to direct the education of their children." School choice allows parents to choose the schooling option that best fits their children's learning needs. This gives all children the opportunit y to have a great education, regardless of their income level or zip code. Visit VoteYesOn80.com to learn more.
