A scheme in the radically pro-abortion state of Colorado, where lawmakers claimed recently that the unborn have no rights, ever, to ban a medical procedure that reverses the chemical abortion process, often successfully, has been itself blocked.
According to a report in the Colorado Sun, U.S. District Judge Daniel D. Domenico over the weekend issued a preliminary injunction halting enforcement of a state law.
In it, Colorado lawmakers positioned themselves has doctors, and claimed that the procedure, which counteracts the chemical abortion process, should be banned.
It was a first-in-the-nation attempt at eliminating the option for woman who start the drugs that cause abortion, but then want to stop the process. The judge’s preliminary injunction against the state law came in a case brought by a Catholic health clinic in Englewood that argued the measure violates its religious freedom and infringes on its First Amendment Rights.
The clinic, Bella Health and Wellness, says it has provided the chemical abortion process reversal treatment to dozens of women over recent years.
“There is no question whether (the law) burdens Bella Health’s free exercise of religion,” Domenico said. “Bella Health considers it a religious obligation to provide treatment for pregnant mothers and to protect unborn life if the mother seeks to stop or reverse an abortion.”
