DENVER (AP)- Governor John Hickenlooper signs a bill that repeals the crime of adultery from Colorado's books.

Democratic sponsors of the bill say the law is outdated.

The bill would also repeal the rarely-used law of contributing to sexual immorality, by providing a place, such as a hotel room for unmarried people to have sex.

The bill becomes law 90 days after the Colorado legislature adjourns in May.

hahah, when has anyone ever been prosecuted under that law?

Don't blame Hickenlooper. Blame the myriad attorney generals before now who almost never enforced this law. I guess they were "supporting sin" as well.

Remember what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? Looks like Colorado and many other states will meet the same fate. Last year was only the start of it

Impeach Hickenlooper and Ferandino now!

So I guess now it's ok to be sexually immoral with ANYONE now, no matter who or what they are.

So our governor SUPPORTS sin and is against God, He should be impeached for this
