Getting an abortion without government interference is now guaranteed in Colorado after Governor Jared Polis signed a bill yesterday enshrining that right in state law.
The new law affirms that Coloradans who want reproductive care, including abortions, will be able to get that care in the state, regardless of whether the US Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that said the right to choose to have an abortion was protected by the Constitution.
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.
