Next Tuesday marks the 35th anniversary of Roe, the landmark decision that gave women access to safe legal abortion services.
35 years later, it's still one of the most contentious issues in our country.
And a recent study, published by the Guttmacher Institute cited that abortion rates are at their lowest in 34 years, with 19% of pregnancies ending in abortion.
The study didn't cite why this percentage of women terminating their pregnancies has fallen so dramatically. Increased access to the morning after pill. More contraceptive options. More women continuing instead of terminating their pregnancies.
In any case, there are a couple of events worth mentioning so stop by to celebrate. There is a Roe Happy Hour in Denver, a Rally on the steps of the Capitol and forum at Naropa.
