Colorado Proposition 115 is a ballot initiative in November 2020 which would ban abortion in Colorado after the 22nd week of pregnancy:
As explained by a supporter of the initiative, Due Date Too Late:
| “ | At 22 weeks gestation a baby can feel pain at this stage, she can hiccup, suck her thumb, and react to her mother’s voice. These babies are viable meaning they can survive if born prematurely. A 22 week pre-born is biologically indistinguishable from a baby born at 22 weeks gestation. Just like a newborn, these babies can feel pain. In fact, their pain sensitivity may even be higher than that of an older infant. In late term abortion, the baby is usually dismembered while alive. Sometimes a toxic chemical is injected into the womb first to cause death. In either case, death is excruciating.[1] | ” |
At less than a month prior to the election, the pro-abortion side had outspent the pro-life side by $5.7 million to only $180,000.[1]
