The state of Colorado, run by majority Democrats in the statehouse and governor’s office, has been radically pro-abortion for a number of years already.
Lawmakers in recent years have decided, in fact, that the unborn have no rights – ever – in the state.
But now it’s being sued for going too far in its promotion of – and demand for – abortion by insisting that women who don’t want an abortion must have one.
The result is that for now, Bella Health and Wellness, a Catholic health center, has been granted an exemption from a law signed by Gov. Jared Polis, an open homosexual who for years has been all-in on the most extreme abortion ideologies, signed only days ago.
Defendants in the lawsuit are the attorney general, the Colorado Medical Board, the Colorado State Board of Nursing, and three district attorneys.
Judge Daniel D. Domenico, a Trump appointee, placed a temporary restraining order on enforcement of the law.
The treatment addresses progesterone, a hormone vital to the maintenance of the unborn during pregnancy.
The abortion drug mifepristone cuts off progesterone supplies to the unborn, effectively killing the baby.
But if the mother is treated with progesterone, often her pregnancy can be saved.
Colorado’s extreme pro-abortion measure claims to target what leftists claim are “anti-abortion centers.” They actually are crisis pregnancy centers and offer a great many services to mothers.
The state has wildly claimed that those treatments, which repeatedly have been documented as successful, are “deceptive trade practices.”
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, an avowed abortion advocate, does not support the treatments.
But Bella Health has retained the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty to represent them in the case, the Examiner reported.
“This is perfectly legal treatment, whether it’s California or Alabama or, however pro-choice or pro-life state you want to think of, and all of them, it’s legal for a woman who doesn’t want to continue with an abortion to stop taking the pills and to try their best to keep a pregnancy,” Becket Fund President Mark Rienzi told the Washington Examiner. “It’s a terrible law that’s bad for women and bad for doctors and nurses who are trying to help women.”
Counsel Laura Wolk Slavis explained the issue simply is that Colorado “targets women who have changed their minds and forces them to undergo abortions they want to stop.”
