Religious Nonprofit Files Lawsuit Challenging Colorado’s Partial Ban On Abortion Reversal Pills – By Kate Anderson (Daily Caller) / April 14 2023
A pro-life Catholic clinic filed a lawsuit Friday challenging a Colorado law prohibiting it from giving women a natural hormone pill when trying to reverse an abortion, according to a press release.
The “Prohibiting Deceptive Practices at Anti-Abortion Centers” bill, passed in April of this year, prohibited clinics from giving women progesterone after they have taken the first dose of the chemical abortion pill to stop the procedure from continuing. Bella Health and Wellness, a nonprofit Catholic healthcare clinic in Colorado, responded by filing a lawsuit, arguing that the law violates their religious rights as well as their medical conscience to be barred from “assist[ing]” or “inform[ing]” women of their options.
“A new Colorado law targets women who have changed their minds about abortion, forcing them to undergo abortions they seek to avoid,” the lawsuit read. “Plaintiffs, in fact, feel religiously compelled to offer this treatment to women facing threatened miscarriage. They cannot in good conscience turn their backs on either their pregnant patient or the pregnancy she seeks their medical help to continue.”
