REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein/File Photo - Colorado cannot stop a Catholic medical center from offering an unproven treatment meant to reverse the effects of pill used in medication abortion, a federal judge has ruled.
"We are relieved and overjoyed to continue helping the many women who come to our clinic seeking help," said Dede Chism and Abby Sinnett, cofounders of the Catholic medical center located in Englewood just outside of Denver.Medication abortion begins with the drug mifepristone, which blocks the action of the hormone progesterone, crucial for sustaining pregnancy, and is completed with a second drug, misoprostol.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, signed a law on April 14 that would subject health care practitioners who perform medication abortion reversal to discipline. Bella filed its lawsuit the same day the law was signed. The abortion pill has been the subject of multiple lawsuits. Anti-abortion groups earlier this year won an order essentially banning it, though that order is on hold while the Biden administration appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court.
