DENVER—Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains is appealing a proposed ballot measure banning abortion to the Colorado Supreme Court.
The appeal filed Monday asks the court to reject a third attempt to ask Colorado voters whether to enact a direct challenge to federal abortion rights by stating that abortion is illegal in all circumstances.
The appeal comes after the Colorado title board approved the amendment language, which would allow Personhood Colorado members to begin gathering the 86,000 or so signatures needed to put the question on ballots.
Similar proposals have been overwhelmingly rejected by Colorado voters in 2010 and 2008. The Planned Parenthood appeal argues that the measure is illegally vague.
