Lamm Decries, Signs Law

Gov. Richard D. Lamm, protesting that Colorado voters have created one standard of care for those with money and another for the poor, signed an anti-abortion constitutional amendment into law. The amendment, approved last November by a 12,000-vote margin in a 1.2-million turnout, forbids the use of state funds for abortions. Lamm said: “There are now two levels of care in this state--one for women with money and another for the poor. For a poor woman who wants an abortion, the state must say no.”
