Coloradans rejected a ballot measure Tuesday that would have limited the gestational age at which an abortion can be performed to 22 weeks.
The Associated Press reported that 59.3% of voters rejected the measure compared with 40.7% of voters who supported the measure. The last abortion restriction to be approved by Colorado voters was a 1998 ballot initiative that required minors to notify their parents of the abortion, followed by a 48-hour mandatory waiting period.
