At Rally, Christian Univ Prez Falsely Claims Colorado Lawmakers Want to Protect Abortion “Even After Birth, if Necessary”


This year’s Colorado Celebrate Life Rally commenced on the west steps of the Colorado Capitol Saturday afternoon with large crowds gathering and carrying signs with anti-abortion slogans, emboldened by the Supreme Court’s recent decision to hear arguments in a Mississippi case that threatens to reverse a 50-year precedent of federally protected access to abortion vis-à-vis 1973’s Roe v.
