WASHINGTON — Former Democratic Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper declined to say whether his presidential administration would support any restrictions on abortion should he be elected to the White House in 2020, but said access to the procedure is an “inalienable” right.

“I look at the woman’s right to control what happens to her body as being inalienable,” Hickenlooper said in response to a Washington Examiner question about whether there was any scenario in which abortion access could be curtailed. “In other words, that’s a right that the government should not take away or infringe upon.”
