At Rally, Christian Univ Prez Falsely Claims Colorado Lawmakers Want to Protect Abortion “Even After Birth, if Necessary”


This year’s Colorado Celebrate Life Rally commenced on the west steps of the Colorado Capitol Saturday afternoon with large crowds gathering and carrying signs with anti-abortion slogans, emboldened by the Supreme Court’s recent decision to hear arguments in a Mississippi case that threatens to reverse a 50-year precedent of federally protected access to abortion vis-à-vis 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision.

Meanwhile, with Wednesday’s start of Colorado’s 73rd legislative assembly, Democratic legislators have announced their intent to introduce a bill protecting access to abortion throughout pregnancy for women in the state, setting a dramatic and contentious backdrop for advocates on both sides of the issue.

Saturday’s rally and march, sponsored by Respect Life Denver, an arm of the Denver Archdiocese, was preceded by a Catholic mass celebrated by Archbishop Samuel Aquila at the Basilica of Immaculate Conception.

The rally began outside the legislative chambers at 1 p.m. with master of ceremonies Dan Caplis, a conservative talk radio host and a sponsor of the rally, welcoming the crowd and laying out the seminal nature of current political and judicial landscapes around the issue of abortion in America and in Colorado.
