Youth Mental Health First https://straphaelcounseling.com/ Aid is an 8-hour public education program which introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of Mental health problems in adolescents, builds understanding, and teaches individuals how to help and adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. We, the undersigned, as members of Fr. Steven Voss Guild of the Northern Colorado Catholic Medical Association support and encourage you to vote “Yes” on Proposition 115 to restrict late term in Colorado after 22 weeks’ gestation. It is clear that voting yes fulfills our mission of Upholding the Principles of the Catholic Faith in the Science and Practice of Medicine.

As Healthcare professionals we are totally aware of the science of human development. The humanity of a 22-week baby is apparent to each of us. There can be no doubt that the 22-week baby is fully alive and fully human.

• She can react to her mother’s voice and touch. • She can experience pain, likely more intensely than an older infant or child can. • She can demonstrate sophisticated behaviors, including early social interaction. (For example, purposeful touch has been observed with fetal co-twins in utero as early as 15 weeks.) • Later in fetal development, she can develop food preferences based on exposure to flavors in her mother’s diet. • She can show a preference for her mother’s voice, and to music

With advances in medical science, it has become obvious that the fetus is much more than “just pregnancy tissue,” as some would claim. There can be no equivocation that the fetus is a living, learning and actively participating human being. Every one of these lives has inherent value and dignity. They deserve to be embraced and protected by the citizens of Colorado, as equal members of our society.

A 22-week prematurely born baby can now routinely survive when provided appropriate medical care. In some medical centers in the United States, 70% of 22-week babies survive. When cared for, these babies are viewed as separate and distinct patients by medical providers, receiving individualized treatment. Therefore, they should be treated as individuals by Colorado law.

We also recognize that some pregnant women face very difficult and complex pregnancy circumstances. As Healthcare providers, we respond to this with deep compassion. We believe that there must be increased private and public support for pregnant women-in-need living in Colorado. We seek to offer strong and viable alternatives for these women. • We believe in the value of support that is offered through both public and faith-based alternative pregnancy centers such as the Pregnancy Resource Center, Alpha Center and Marisol Health. • We applaud the work of many organizations to ensure that unwanted pregnancies don’t necessarily interrupt educational goals such as Florence Crittenton Services of Colorado. • We support those organizations who provide housing for pregnant women experiencing financial and housing insecurity such as Little Flower Maternity Home, Let Them Live, and Mary’s Home. • We encourage greater access to perinatal hospice programs which provide a life- affirming and compassionate alternative to late term abortion for families dealing with the tragedy of a life-limiting fetal diagnosis. • We work to encourage the gift of adoption and recognize the good work of adoption agencies across Colorado. We stand together with all those who work privately and publicly to support women during their pregnancies, especially those women who face difficult circumstances or challenges during their pregnancies.

In the uncommon situations in which the pregnancy itself places the mother’s health at risk after 22-weeks, we know that delivery of the baby is safer and quicker than a multi-day abortion procedure. We do not believe that any of the challenges a woman faces after 22 weeks of pregnancy necessitate the senseless destruction of a human life.

As a diverse healthcare community, we acknowledge the 153,204 voters who petitioned to have Proposition 115 placed on this November’s ballot. They represent all political parties, races, ethnicities, and religions. These Colorado constituents have spoken out loudly about their strong belief in the humanity of babies at 22-weeks’ gestation and beyond. We must listen to them.

As a people who say we value life, we feel strongly that we must act on our convictions. We ask all Coloradans to vote YES on Prop 115.

In Christ,

The Catholic Medical Association Fr. Steven Voss Guild of Northern Colorado [email protected]

On March 30, 2020, CO House Bill 1031 was enacted, establishing the firstfirst Monday in October as a new State Holiday, Francis Xavier Cabrini DayDayay. As the first Monday in October this year, October 5th, is a ferial day in ordinary time, you may consider celebrating the Mass of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini as a Votive Mass on this day, using the collect found in the Proper of Saints listed on November 13th and the prayers from the Common of Virgins: For One Virgin or from the Common of Holy Men and Women: For Those Who Practiced Works of Mercy. Note that the state declaring the first Monday in October as Francis Xavier Cabrini Day does not affect the status of November 13th on our liturgical calendar, which is still celebrated as her Feast Day here in the Archdiocese of Denver.
