A coalition of abortion rights advocates is planning to reverse the Colorado ban on public money being used for abortion care.
Michael Emery HeckerThe Colorado Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice Coalition is preparing to end the state's prohibition on public funds for abortion care and codify abortion protections through a ballot measure for the 2024 election.
The campaign is personal for Cobalt, as the Cobalt Abortion Fund was originally started by the First Universalist Church of Denver in 1984 in response to Colorado voters passing a constitutional amendment that banned using public funds for abortion by just under 10,000 votes. The group purposefully chose to take its time developing the initiative, which Middleton says it began discussing in 2021. The members chose 2024 in part because organizations like theirs tend to have more monetary resources in presidential election years, when more donors pay attention to what's on the ballot and voters are more engaged.Those who haven’t been a public employee or been on Medicaid may not even be aware of the ban on abortion coverage.
