Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

Dear Members of the Colorado General Assembly,

I am writing to implore you to vote NO on Senate Bill 25-183 with the strongest possible resolve. This bill, currently under consideration in the House Committee of the Whole, represents a dangerous overreach that threatens the moral fabric, fiscal stability, and democratic integrity of our state. As your constituent, I urge you to reject this legislation and stand up for the values and priorities that Colorado desperately needs.

SB25-183 aims to expand Medicaid and the Children's Basic Health Plan to cover abortion services, following the passage of Amendment 79 in 2024. It would repeal a long-standing state constitutional provision banning public funds for abortions, redirecting up to $2 million of our tax dollars each year to pay for these procedures. Research from the Lozier Institute predicts this could lead to 1,840 more abortions annually—an alarming increase that would reshape Colorado's health care landscape. While the bill's intent is clear, its consequences are indefensible.

Let me be blunt: this bill must not pass. For nearly 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has wisely prohibited federal funding for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother's life. This isn't just a federal standard—it's a moral benchmark Colorado should follow. Forcing every taxpayer to fund elective abortions—up to $2 million worth—violates the conscience of countless Coloradans who oppose this practice. If federal funds can't flow to abortions, why should our state dollars?

What's more, we taxpayers never got a say on this bill. Amendment 79 was a broad vote, not a green light to siphon millions into abortion funding. SB25-183 was cooked up behind closed doors, not put to a public ballot. This could raise our taxes to cover its costs, yet we were denied a voice. That's not democracy—that's a betrayal of the people you serve.

Then there's the chilling message from Speaker Julie McCluskie and her allies: abortion is cheaper, so it's the state's go-to for Medicaid patients. Instead of supporting new parents or babies already born, they'd rather turn Medicaid into an abortion pipeline—1,840 more terminations a year, by the numbers. One Coloradan on X nailed it: "It's cheaper to abort them than pay to raise them. Seriously, they said that out loud. Sick." This isn't compassion—it's a heartless cost-cutting scheme.

And let's talk money. Colorado's drowning in over $1 billion of debt, with Medicaid already bleeding us dry. Every dollar funneled to abortions is a dollar ripped from the intellectual and developmental disabilities community, struggling families, or kids already here. As one citizen put it, "SB25-183 forces taxpayers to fund elective abortions with dollars that should help" those in real need. In this fiscal mess, why are we bankrolling a divisive procedure over our most vulnerable?

This bill is a symptom of a bigger problem—a state leadership drifting from its people. Full-term abortions are already legal, crime's spiking, and rights are eroding, yet here we are, facing a bill that could hit Governor Polis' desk any day. I beg you: stop it before it gets there. Vote NO with every ounce of conviction you have. Heed the Hyde Amendment, respect our voices, and protect our state's future. Colorado can't afford this—morally, financially, or otherwise. It's time to choose life over funding its end.

Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
