HCR25-1003, Person’s Rights Related to Children, was postponed indefinitely in the State, Civic, Military, and Veterans Committee along party lines (Democrats 8, Republicans 3), preventing Colorado voters the opportunity to vote in the General Election on whether to codify into the Colorado Constitution certain First Amendment inalienable rights including, “… directing the upbringing, education, and care of their children.”
Last November, Colorado’s Constitution was amended to give women the right to abort their children, yet yesterday, our legislature would not give those same women the right to vote next November on whether, as a parent, they have the right to direct their child’s upbringing.
Today, April 22, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case of Mahmoud vs. Taylor. Within the next month or two, they will determine whether parents have the right to raise their children according to their own beliefs. This will greatly affect Colorado law which does not currently give us this luxury due to the fact that our legislature recently passed HB25-1312, Legal Protections for Transgender Individuals.
