Pueblo sees first attempt by Texas-based anti-abortion activist to challenge Colorado law – By Elliott Wenzler (Colorado Sun) / Dec 10, 2022
The activist has helped write abortion-banning ordinances in about 60 cities
Aproposed ordinance in Pueblo that would effectively ban abortions in the city marks the first attempt by a Texas-based anti-abortion group to poke holes in a Colorado law passed this year that prohibits restrictions on access to abortion and contraception.
