DENVER — Colorado Democratic lawmakers introduced a package of three bills Thursday that, if passed, would increase and protect access to abortion and gender-affirming care in the state.
The proposed laws expand upon lawmakers’ passage of a 2022 law codifying the right to abortions at any stage of pregnancy after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision guaranteeing the right to abortions.
The bills are starting in the Colorado Senate and they aim to put a stop to disinformation and deceptive practices by crisis pregnancy centers; protect patients and providers who have abortions and gender-affirming care from threats from other states; and require insurance coverage for reproductive health care, as previously reported by The Denver Post.
