TITUSVILLE, FL -- “One thing pro-life and pro-choice people agree on nationwide is that they don’t want to pay for other people’s abortions, and yet Colorado is asking its citizens to do just that,” said Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone, commenting on a bill just signed by Gov. Jared Polis that will allocate $1.5 million annually in state funding to cover abortion under the state’s Medicaid program.
“This is part two of last November’s vote on Amendment 79,” Pavone said. “That misguided and destructive measure creates the fiction that somehow there is virtue enforcing people to pay for child-killing.
“A Colorado lawmaker recently touted the cost-saving benefits in ‘averted births,’ but abortion averts birth by killing children. These advocates might want to point that out. Polis has just signed a death warrant for his own constituents.”
