Fort Collins Abortion Tragedy Exposes Unregulated Clinics While GOP Battles Over Closed Primaries
from The Kim Monson Show · host Kim Monson
The death of 18-year-old Lexi at a Fort Collins Planned Parenthood abortion clinic exposed Colorado’s refusal to regulate these facilities, while Kevin Lundberg clarified the critical distinction between opting out of Proposition 108 and the lawsuit to eliminate it entirely. Rachel O’Brien of Open the Books revealed NASA spent millions on DEI while Boeing stranded astronauts, and Lori Saine announced her Colorado GOP Chair candidacy pledging party transparency. Tragedy at Fort Collins Planned Parenthood Start listening at 18:11 – Hour 1 Kevin Lundberg detailed the testimony from a recent legislative hearing on House Bill 25-1252, which sought to regulate abortion clinics to surgical center standards. An 18-year-old named Lexi went to the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood for an abortion and died as a result of the procedure. Lloyd Benz, an advocate for life, documented the case for his testimony, noting that an ambulance arrived with a silent siren to avoid drawing attention. The bill, sponsored by Representative Scott Bottoms, died on party lines despite the documented death. Lundberg emphasized this reflects a pattern at that particular clinic and represents what Planned Parenthood calls reproductive health care but is actually a culture of death. “It is a culture of death, and somehow it has become firmly established in Colorado law.” Kevin Lundberg, Former Colorado State Senator Colorado’s Extreme Abortion Laws Start listening at 33:00 – Hour 1 Kim and Kevin Lundberg discussed how Amendment 79 opened the floodgates for unrestricted abortion in Colorado. The constitutional change threw into question whether even parental notification requirements can be legally enforced. A 12-year-old can now seek an abortion or other medical procedures without parental knowledge. Lundberg noted that 76 percent of good bills have been killed this session, with 78 percent dispatched on party-line votes. Democrats have made abortion their number one priority, putting it on steroids in recent years. “I’m grateful to say that some states have come to their senses on this, and the Supreme Court threw out the Roe v. Wade requirement. But here in Colorado it’s the exact opposite.” Kevin Lundberg, Former Colorado State Senator Closed Primary Lawsuit Versus Opt-Out Start listening at 41:57 – Hour 1 Kevin Lundberg, who serves as chairman of the lawsuit committee for the Colorado GOP, clarified the confusion between two distinct approaches. The lawsuit challenges Proposition 108 as unconstitutional under the 2000 Supreme Court case California Democratic Party v. Jones, which held you cannot force a political party to accept votes from non-party members. The opt-out is an attempt to work within Proposition 108’s provisions by getting 75 percent of the entire central committee to vote out every election cycle. Lundberg explained this has proven impossible to achieve. John Eastman serves as the legal team’s quarterback on the lawsuit. “The lawsuit is to eliminate Proposition 108 from Colorado’s law books, and the default is the closed primary.” Kevin Lundberg, Former Colorado State Senator Open the Books Exposes Government Spending Start l...
