The results of the 2022 election could very well hinge on the issue of abortion rights, particularly if the U.S. Supreme Court ends up overturning Roe v. Wade this summer.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) by Sean Price, Colorado Times Recorder Republicans repeated baseless election fraud conspiracies while advocating for amendments to a proposed election security bill in the Colorado House of Representatives Wednesday.

Late in the 2014 campaign for U.S. Senate in Colorado, the National Abortion Rights Action League’s (NARAL) Colorado chapter launched the ad you can see above, warning viewers that if Cory Gardner became Colorado’s next U.S. Senator, “Better stock up on condoms.” This ad was universally panned by fact-checkers and the local media, coming after […]

Whatever you may think of Tina Peters, the frontrunner in the Republican primary for the nomination to challenge incumbent Secretary of State Jena Griswold despite facing multiple felony charges, she is unquestionably enjoying the ride of her life as a nationally-famous figure in the continuing movement to prove despite any evidence that the 2020 presidential […]

Last February as the controversy over the termination without cause of Douglas County School District Superintendent Corey Wise by the new right-wing majority on the DougCo school board raged, an abortive open records request was filed seeking the names of teachers who joined a large protest against the board’s actions that forced DCSD schools to […]

Colorado Public Radio reporting, with the earth-shaking news this week that the U.S. Supreme Court is internally circulating a draft opinion that overturns Roe v. Wade as well as the Casey v.

If you’re reading these words we will assume that you are already aware that a leaked document indicates that the U.S. Supreme Court is getting ready to overturn Roe v. Wade in what would be a stunning rollback of abortion rights. This news will obviously have an enormous impact on the 2022 election; how each […]
A development shocking for its immediacy if not wholly unexpected, Politico reporting via an unprecedented leak that the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to overturn both Roe v. Wade and its affirming subsequent decision Casey v. Planned Parenthood, throwing abortion rights into jeopardy across the nation where statutory and/or constitutional protections do not already exist, […]
