Cynthia Coffmn is not pro-choice in any meaningful sense. At best, she skirts the issue and does not commit, as she did when she refused to "look into" the fake videos about Planned Parenthood selling fetal body parts. So this has to be an attempt to muddy the waters so that some moderate Colorado voters think that Cynthia Coffman actually is pro-choice.
She isn't. She bragged about defunding Planned Parenthood, before she became attorney general. Video clip below. Absent any confirming video or audio, I think that Shaun Boyd is indulging in wishful thinking about Cynthia Coffman's miraculous conversion to the pro-choice side.
Coffman may have also tried to take regulatory power over abortion clinics away from Colorado HHS, and place it under her office. Texas did this, and closed half their abortion clinics.
Coffman's pro "gay rights" cred has more substance to it – she has made public speeches about it, and has been a caretaker for a gay friend. But her predecessor in the AG office, John Sutherland, tried his "schoolhouse door" stand blocking gay marriage in Colorado, and ultimately capitulated – so Cynthia really didn't have to fight that battle at all as AG.
So in other words, Cindy's trying to pull a 'Cory Gardner' (i.e. the transparently phony, now-infamous Personhood-Amendment Two-Step) on us…
Gosh, this must mean a Denver Post endorsement of her will be coming any day now.
Somebody should tell Caplis et al that Barry Goldwater was pro choice and pro gay rights.
They're speculating that she and Mike split up over the issue of reproductive choice!
And to think Silverman and Caplis still have law degrees. Frankly, who cares why the Coffmans are divorcing? I'm more interested in Colorado voters divorcing them from their respective offices (both that they hold and that they seek).
Is there such a thing as a "Common Law Divorce"?
Yes there is. It's called a divorce. Per Colorado law, if people present themselves as a married couple, or hold property in common, have signed off as "married" on some document (like insurance papers), then when they split, they must divorce in a court of law. Property, custody, all of that must be adjudicated just like with the church or civil-wedded folks.
I know of what I speaketh.
That's true Mama. There's a myth that if you've lived together for 7 yrs. you have a common law marriage. You can live with someone for 7 years (or 50 years) and not be married under "common law" if you don't meet some of the elements as stated. On the other hand, if you establish those elements from day one, you can be considered married in common law.
This is in Colorado (no doubt established by case law), other states may be different.
