Hi,
The right for women and girls to have a safe abortion is supported by the majority of the US and CO. Let's not slide backwards into the 1950's by banning abortion services in Pueblo. In the 90's we led the state in teen pregnancies, and this will lead to a return to that, with more angry, resource-poor young men born to angry, overwhelmed teen moms.
