You may have been wondering why abortion was on the ballot this year, even it's legal in Colorado. It would add language to the Colorado Constitution protecting the right.

Amendment 79, which prohibits any state or local government from denying, impeding or discriminating against the right to abortion access, was passing 60.9% to 39.1% at 8:26 p.m. when The Associated Press called the race.
