DENVER (AP)- The crime of adultery could soon be struck from Colorado's law books after the state Senate approved the bill and sent it to the Governor.

The Democratic-controlled Senate gave final approval to the bill .

Bill sponsors say it is about keeping government out of people's bedrooms.

Opponents say the law is not archaic and moral standards continue to be important.

Adultery is illegal in Colorado, but no criminal penalty is specified.

Abortion should be overturned too. There are plenty of families who would adopt un wanted children. Guns are necessary, because without them we stand the chance of being Overrun by tyrants. And criminals will still have guns no matter what.

No we wouldn't. Its like abortion or guns. Making it illegal won't make it go away.

Scott, I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with you on this one. If this law was in place I think we would see fewer divorces, and dummy marriages.

Funny how a law that actually follows one of the ten commandments gets almost no attention.

This law should stand. What in the world is society coming to.
