Letters: Overly critical of pregnancy resource centers and abortion reversal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:09:10 GMT

Overly critical of pregnancy resource centersRe: “Colorado will protect pregnant women,” April 16 editorialGov. Jared Polis and Democratic state legislators squandered a chance to demonstrate that they are truly in favor of choice and not simply pro-abortion.Some women immediately believe they have made a horrible mistake after taking the first pill in the two-pill medication abortion regimen. Until Senate Bill 23-190 was signed into law, they were able to access the abortion pill reversal regimen that utilizes natural progesterone to mitigate the abortifacient effects of mifepristone. This doubled their chances of having a continuing pregnancy based on robust, multifaceted evidence accumulated over the past 17 years.Now women in Colorado are effectively told that they can’t withdraw their consent from the medication abortion procedure. SB 190 cruelly gives them only two options – to finish their abortion and kill their wanted baby or omit the second abortion pill, misop...
