Colorado governor signs bill stating unborn human babies have no rights

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : This declaration is a response to past ballot initiatives that aim to restrict abortion by providing embryos with the rights of born humans.
45% : The Colorado Catholic Conference has warned that the bill's language codifies a right to abortion throughout the full 40 weeks of pregnancy, as it states: "Every pregnant individual has a fundamental right to continue the pregnancy and give birth or to have an abortion."
44% : In 1967, Colorado was the first state in the nation to decriminalize abortion in most cases, and although it has allowed access to abortion since then, there was nothing in the state's laws expressly guaranteeing it.
43% : (Natural News) Colorado Governor Jared Polis has signed a bill into law that codifies the right to abortion in the state.
43% : It is one of the few states in the nation with no gestational limit written into its abortion law, which means abortion is available up until birth.
38% : For example, Oklahoma lawmakers recently passed one of the country's toughest anti-abortion laws that bans abortion throughout the state, even in cases of rape or incest.
37% : With the bill, Colorado joins a handful of other states in codifying women's right to abortion in a statute as efforts are underway elsewhere in the country to limit access to abortions in anticipation of an upcoming U.S. Supreme Court ruling that challenges Roe v Wade, a 1973 decision that banned all states from outlawing abortion.
33% : In 2020, a constitutional amendment was proposed there that would have banned abortion following the 22nd week of pregnancy, unless the mother's life was in danger, but it ultimately failed to pass.
