The legislation ensures the right to abortions as well as other reproductive care before and after pregnancy, and it would ban local and state governments from interfering in that care.
It also would prevent a fertilized egg, embryo or fetus from having independent rights under state law.
“... It’s more important now than ever for all Colorado to make sure we are protecting women and people who choose to be pregnant or choose to not be pregnant across this great state,” Esgar said before the bill was signed into law. After signing the bill, Polis released what’s known as a signing statement, which he typically does after approving bills that he has some concerns about or when he wants to raise an issue for future legislation.
Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat, said at the event Monday that the bill is a response to both voters’ rejection of prior attempts to restrict abortions and “the consistent and sustained support for reproductive health care by Coloradans in every corner of the state — urban, rural and everywhere in between.”
