HB1279 makes it illegal to impose restrictions on abortion and makes it legal to murder preborn babies up to the moment of birth.
The Colorado State House of Representatives passed HB1279 on March 14, 2022 by a vote of 40 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution and this legislation goes against that. Further, there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that would prevent states from passing well-constructed statutes or adopting amendments to their state constitutions that provide even greater and more specific protections for the right to life than those provided by the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments.
