Reproductive Freedom

The world we want respects people's personal private decisions about forming intimate relationships and building secure and healthy families. And it helps ensure that everyone has the resources to make these decisions responsibly: from sex education to birth control to prenatal care to the option of abortion. In recent years, Colorado has unfortunately become a prominent battleground for reproductive rights, as a handful of religious extremists have tried to force their beliefs on the rest of the state through the so-called “Personhood” ballot initiatives. The ACLU worked tirelessly to defeat that attempt in 2008, and will do so again in 2010.
