(The Center Square) – A federal judge ruled over the weekend in favor of a Catholic health care clinic that’s challenging Colorado’s ban on “abortion reversal” treatment.
U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Domenico on Saturday issued a preliminary injunction in favor of Englewood-based Bella Health and Wellness, which bars the state from enforcing Senate Bill 23-190. The law, passed by Democrats in the last legislative session, makes it “unprofessional conduct for a person … to provide, prescribe, administer, or attempt medication abortion reversal.”
Medication abortions terminate a pregnancy with the use of two drugs consecutively: mifepristone, which inhibits the hormone progesterone, and misoprostol, which is used to clear the embryo from the uterus.
Bella and other faith-based health clinics sometimes use progesterone, which is commonly prescribed to mothers at risk of miscarriage, in cases where mifepristone is used, but a mother decides not to go through with an abortion and doesn’t take the misoprostol pill. The practice is commonly referred to as “abortion pill reversal.”

Tangentially, this: I was admitted to the Bar over 30 years ago. Except what I read in the news like this story, I’ve never heard of courts issuing rulings on nights and weekends when the courts are closed. Yet we constantly hear these stories about federal courts issuing orders at odd hours, at night, on weekends or holidays. It’s just strange
My body, my choice only applies in one direction.
This makes no sense. Someone decides they don’t want to complete the abortion, and it’s illegal to provide them care?
Why on earth would anyone think this is good?
Because CO has been taken over by anti-Christian and anti-heterosexual hate mongers, is why: Mikey Weinstein, who has persecuted the Air Force Academy, among other entities, over any trace of Christian expression among cadets or administration; and Tim Gill, gay high-tech millionaire who has plowed mega bucks into Democrats and leftist causes, turning the state dark blue.
