DENVER - Colorado Governor Jared Polis released the following statement:
“What is taking place in Texas is horrific and deeply sad. A person’s individual choice should be left to them — not politicians who are obsessed with taking away freedom. Here in Colorado, we value freedom and individual choice, and we have taken important steps in partnership with Colorado’s legislature to protect access to abortion, provider safety, and every person’s ability to make their own healthcare decisions. The government should not get between a doctor and their patient. While some leaders around the country want to strip away rights and insert the government into people’s personal decisions, Colorado is proud to be a place that continues increasing access and allowing people to make their own choices about how and when to begin their families.”
