Excerpt:
On March 25, 2025, Colorado House Speaker Julie McCluskie, D, sat before a legislative committee to discuss Senate Bill 25-183, a measure designed to force the state’s Medicaid program to cover abortion services.
The hearing was one of those moments where the mask drops, and the cold, deathly, skeletal face of progressive policy ambitions looked America right in the eyes.
McCluskie didn’t even really try to hide her position. She just brazenly leaned into a fiscal argument that’s as chilling as it is revealing: “A birth is more expensive than an abortion,” she said, citing a fiscal note projecting that Colorado could save over $550,000 annually by funding abortions rather than births. She euphemistically called them “averted births.” Averted births?! Ma’am, the word you’re looking for is “murdered children.”
The bill’s “numbers” (apparently) back her up — $5.9 million to pay for abortions in the first full year, offset by $6.4 million in “savings” from these “averted births.
