This Oct. 13, 1984 photo shows women's rights advocate and pro-choice activist Ruth Steel. Steel lobbied lawmakers in 1965 to allow public health officials to discuss birth control with residents and provide it to them. She worked closely with John Bermingham, a Republican state senator who is now 93 and retired, to shepherd the contraception bill though the Legislature. It's the 50th anniversary of a groundbreaking Colorado state legislative bill signed into law by a Republican governor that significantly loosened 1960s restrictions on legal abortions.
