Colorado abortion bill would block new safety rules for clinics

Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila sounded the alarm this week about a new bill in Colorado‘s state legislature. The measure, known as SB 175, is designed to prevent any future restrictions on abortion whatsoever – apparently including basic measures to protect the health and safety of patients.

According to its text, SB 175 would prevent the state and its localities from “enact[ing] any policy that denies or interferes with an individual’s reproductive health care decisions.”
