Colorado Governor Jared Polis has signed House Bill 22-1279 into law. This measure legalizes abortions for all nine months of the pregnancy, up until the moment of birth.
The law, which was billed as the Reproductive Health Equity Act, claims that it “modernizes” Colorado’s abortion law by giving women the unfettered right to murder their baby in the womb.
The law declares that “a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent or derivative rights under the laws of the state.” It prevents any public entity to “deny, restrict, interfere with, or discriminate against an individual’s fundamental right to use or refuse contraception or to continue a pregnancy and give birth or to have an abortion in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information.”
