Colorado lawyers have egg on their faces after declining to defend a law that outlaws abortion pill reversal. A doctor who “provides, prescribes, administers, or attempts [chemical] abortion reversal in this state” is “subject to discipline.” Progesterone has been used for decades to prevent miscarriages. A person in my church with a history of miscarriages was given progesterone and is now experiencing a healthy pregnancy. It’s also used successfully to reverse chemical abortion. The law would bully medical professionals who support women’s choices to have the baby and is a blatant violation of the Constitution. This bad law could be a blessing in disguise. It’s on hold until state medical boards rule on abortion pill reversal this fall. If they follow the science it’ll be a huge gain for LIFE.
