Until the passage of Senate Bill 190, a woman who had taken the first of two abortion pills, mifepristone, but not the second, misoprostol, could seek abortion pill reversal treatment if she change…
In this 2022 file photo, Bottles of the drug misoprostol sit on a table at the West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Colorado lawmakers passed a law targeting abortion reversal where a woman who has taken the first bill to start a miscarriage can not take the second and instead take a medicine to counteract the first. “The law at issue here runs afoul of … First Amendment principles,” U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Domenico wrote in this week’s decision.
Several studies show that taking progesterone after the first abortion pill in place of the second pill is twice as effective at preserving pregnancy than simply not taking the second pill and hoping for the best. In fact, the latter alternative poses a risk of health complications for the mother. Secondly, lawmakers made it known in hearings that they knew the law would have a disproportionately adverse impact on faith-based providers. Lastly, the law would not be applied broadly since pharmacy and nursing boards would review complaints on a case-by-case basis.
Domenico’s reasoning is sound and subsequent decisions will likewise affirm the rights of those who assist women facing an unplanned pregnancy including those who have changed their minds in the midst of a medication abortion.Kiszla: Broncos shake off losing streak to Chiefs and learn they don’t need Russell Wilson to be $245 million game manager
