Site: Padre PeregrinoMost Americans in the pro-life movement do not know that first two states "to decriminalize abortion" in certain circumstances (like rape) were Mississippi and Colorado. Rep. Dick Lamb and Gov. John Love did this in Denver on the 25th of April 1967. This was six years before the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade, a landmark [...]
