Vote
-
As citizens and as Unitarian Universalists, we have the awesome responsibility and privilege of participating in our representative democracy. In Colorado voting is easy and virtually fool-proof. Remember to complete and submit your ballot well in advance of November 3 and to fill out your ballot from top to bottom. State and local governments have profound impacts on our lives and on redistricting that will soon occur. Educate yourselves about the 11 ballot measures by consulting the 2020 State Ballot Information Booklet (Blue Book.) If you have any questions about voting or about the ballot measures, you may contact Clark Huff at clarkh@prairieuu.org for assistance.
-
A Good Source for Election Information is here
- A women's choice has been a long held resolution at the UUA general assemblies. Ballots are out and there are many propositions and amendments on them. Say NO to proposition 115 to support a Women's Choice. The Colorado 22-Week Abortion Ban Initiative (Proposition 115) would prohibit abortion procedures after 22 weeks of gestational age. Under the rule, an abortion after 22 weeks would only be permitted in an immediate life-threatening emergency with no exceptions for rape, incest, a lethal fetal diagnosis, or the health or medical needs of the patient. Abortion after 22 weeks only accounts for about 1% of total abortion procedures and in many cases is the result of major gestational complications that are found later in pregnancy. Any physician who performs an abortion after 22 weeks would be found in violation of this initiative and face criminal charges and suspension of their medical license by the Colorado Medical Board.This should remain a personal medical decision between a woman and her doctor, not the government. Women should have a choice, if they wish to continue a pregnancy.
