(The Christian Post) Colorado voters have rejected a measure that would have banned abortions after 22 weeks of gestation, except when there is a life-threatening medical emergency for the mother.
Proposition 115, also known as the 22-Week Abortion Ban Initiative, was defeated on Tuesday with about 59.07% of voters in the Centennial State voting against the measure and 40.93% voting in favor.
Lucy Olena, campaign manager for the No on 115 campaign, which opposed the ban, celebrated the result of the referendum in a statement published by The Denver Post.
