As part of a new front in the war over abortion access in America, the Pueblo city council is set to decide Monday whether to approve an anti-abortion ordinance that opponents say violates a law passed by Colorado lawmakers earlier this year.
weeks after the Clinics for Abortion and Reproductive Excellence, or CARE, announced it would open a new clinic in town. Regina Maestri, the councilwoman who drafted the proposal, told The Denver Post that she had concerns specific to CARE and that she contacted
Opponents of the proposal, including Pueblo Democratic Rep. Daneya Esgar, have said they don’t believe it will pass. If it does, the city would likely face a legal challenge: Esgar, whothat prohibits state or local authorities from limiting access to abortion, said she believed the ordinance would violate that law, and the city’s legal staff have recommended the proposal be dropped. On Nov.
Even if the proposal does fail, similar efforts are likely to re-emerge elsewhere in Colorado, Little said. Opponents described it as a new attempt by anti-abortion activists to undercut access to abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade. Maestri and Little, the councilmember and anti-abortion activist, both said the Comstock Act supersedes the state law protecting abortion access, the Reproductive Health Equity Act.“The city of Pueblo cannot violate that,” Cohen said. “So this — regardless of its enforcement mechanism — violates state law. Pueblo, even if it had the votes, would still be acting against state law.”
