Colorado’s Forced Abortion Law

The cult of death is a religion with no forgiveness, serving a god that knows no grace.

Colorado wants a morning-after pill, but not a morning-after-the-morning-after pill.

In a new law passed earlier this month, the first openly gay man elected governor of a U.S. state endorsed the nation’s first ban on abortion reversal treatment, so that women who regret their abortions may not attempt to save their child’s life. It’s the ideal pro-choice bill, allowing only one possible result: punishment for anyone who administers, dispenses, distributes, or delivers a drug “with the intent to interfere with, reverse, or halt a medication abortion.”

How’s that for a choice?

The ban on abortion reversal treatment passed on party lines and was endorsed by Jared Polis, the Mountain State’s Democratic governor. An initial legal challenge to the law already failed, as a federal judge ruled the potential for harm as a result of the new bill was “too speculative” and that the ban, which goes in effect immediately while a number of Colorado state medical boards determine if abortion reversal attempts are “generally accepted standard of practice” by October 1, will apparently not be enforced prior to that point.

Nevertheless, the language of the bill itself describes crisis pregnancy centers that offer abortion reversal as engaging in “deceptive trade practices” and “unprofessional conduct,” which are “grounds for discipline.”

While complete data on abortion pill reversal usage is unknown, that “deceptive” practice has saved the lives of at least 4,000 babies since 2013, according to internal data from just one abortion-reversal group, the Abortion Pill Rescue Network. While it’s likely the true number is higher, that known rate would work out to about 400 abortions reversed per year nationally, meaning the Colorado lawmakers have gone out of their way to punish approximately eight women annually. A whole law for these eight seems, if you’ll pardon a pun, like overkill.
