Comment on Mesa police seek woman who wandered from care facility overnight

A Fort Collins woman will undergo a surgery to prevent pregnancy. A Thornton couple has decided to embrace male birth control through a vasectomy. A mother in Evergreen plans to stock up on morning-after pills. And a transgender man in Colorado Springs worries about his access to testosterone. Although voters enshrined abortion access in the state’s constitution last fall, some Coloradans still feel uneasy about the permanency of reproductive health care and gender-affirming care under President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

COLORADO SPRINGS — Voters here chose to legalize recreational marijuana sales for the first time in the city’s history last fall, casting 22,372 more votes in favor than against Question 300 on the Nov. 5 ballot. But for some members of the Colorado Springs City Council, the more-than-9-percentage-point electoral margin backing the establishment of a retail cannabis industry in Colorado’s second-largest city wasn’t definitive enough.

Lost amid the hullabaloo surrounding Donald J. Trump’s second Inauguration as President of the United States—the last-minute, cold-driven venue changes, the galas and balls, the $170 million raised from donors both big-name and anonymous—is the point of the whole extravaganza. In the summer of 1787, the delegates to the federal convention in Philadelphia included in the document they were drafting a requirement that before taking office, the President should recite the following oath: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Not everyone thought it was a good idea.

America’s higher education system is in freefall, for young adults are indoctrinated, not educated. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Maybe let’s not have a full hundred executive orders signed on Trump’s first day.

The man deserves a bigger historical footnote.
