“In a world in which Roe v. Wade falls, we want to make it clear that regardless of what happens at the Supreme Court that access to abortion care in Colorado is protected,” said Democratic state Sen. Julie Gonzales, adding that the Colorado bill is a direct response to the new Texas law and the Supreme Court’s hearing of a Mississippi case that would overrule Roe and prevent states from banning abortion before viability, which is around 24 weeks of pregnancy when a fetus can survive outside the womb.
