Senate Bill 25-183 is a disgrace, pushing Colorado to fund abortions with your tax dollars, we MUST STOP THIS—over $2 million a year! After Amendment 79 enshrined abortion in the state constitution in 2024, this bill demands Medicaid and the Children’s Basic Health Plan cover abortion services. It scraps a decades-old ban on public abortion funding, projecting 1,840 more abortions annually, per the Lozier Institute, hiking the rate from 8.61 to 10.13 per thousand women. As of April 23, 2025, it’s awaiting Governor Jared Polis’ signature.
This is a moral outrage and a fiscal slap in the face. The Hyde Amendment’s blocked federal abortion funding since 1976—why should Colorado taxpayers be forced to bankroll this? No public vote, just legislators like Speaker Julie McCluskie sneaking it through, ignoring your voice. With Colorado $1 billion in debt, every dollar spent on elective abortions robs struggling families, the disabled, or born babies. X users are livid: “Dems say it’s cheaper to abort than raise kids. Sick!” This bill turns Medicaid into an abortion pipeline, not a lifeline.
Colorado’s leadership is spiraling—full-term abortions legal, crime spiking, and now this? SB25-183 is a betrayal of values and accountability. Stop this travesty before it’s law. Call Governor Jared Polis at (303) 866-2471 and demand he defend the unborn and block tax dollars from funding murder.
