The bills come less than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned 50 years of abortion precedent with Roe v. Wade.
Senate Bill 23-189 also specifies that insurers must cover the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections , including HIV medications, and prohibits insurance carriers from requiring step therapy before covering those HIV medications. Titone says in the months after the Dobbs decision, not only have Colorado clinics been overwhelmed with patients coming in from out of state for these services, but providers have also expressed increasing concerns about whether offering these services to people traveling here will open them up to criminal or civil liability.
It also prohibits police from arresting someone who seeks or provides this type of care, prohibits search warrants from being issued, bans judges from issuing a summons for a grand jury investigation in another state over these services and blocks the governor from turning someone over to another state for these services unless the person received the care in that state.
“They peddle biased and inaccurate information about abortion care and contraceptives. And they take advantage of people during some of their most vulnerable moments. Simply put, they lie,” said Rep. Janice Marchman, D-Loveland.
