Sponsor an Anti-Choice Bill, and Get a Zero on NARAL's Scorecard

That's a useful tool. And the new generation of voters should take note. They are far more nuanced than their legislators. Jerry Sonnenberg and Perry Buck, for example, should know that their constituents, while perhaps morally not in favor of abortion for themselves, are also adamantly opposed to making it illegal.

Sonnenberg and Buck have well-deserved zero ratings from NARAL.  I find it especially ironic that both voted against the Pregnant Worker Fairness Act –  signed into law June 1.  It makes it easier for women who choose to carry their babies to term to keep working, with reasonable accommodations. It would have helped me to stay employed as an electrician when I was carrying my second child. I had asked for an accommodation to not work in toxic environments, e.g. an ink factory.

Instead, my hours and pay were cut and I had to sue with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission to get them back.

The anti-choice legislators not only voted against that law, but against HB1002,  Parental Involvement in Child's Academic Activities.. This was a simple bill to allow parents to meet with school personnel during normal school hours, or to take off to attend parent-teacher conferences. It's been postponed indefinitely.

So, to recap – the anti-choice legislators not only want to make abortion impossible to get in Colorado, but they want to drastically restrict the abilities of parents to work and support their families, and to attend normal school activities which benefit their students.
