Reaction to a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade has been coming in quickly in Colorado, where a new state law ensures abortion remains legal.
– The Supreme Court has struck down Roe v. Wade, overturning the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion nationwide, and Colorado leaders have been quick to share reaction. The announcement on the Supreme Court Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision was released on Friday morning.in 1973, establishing that women have a right to get an abortion before a fetus could survive outside of its mother’s womb — typically around 24 weeks of pregnancy.
The Supreme Court ruling overturns Roe v. Wade, which means that states regain power to regulate abortion.Sen. Michael Bennet released the following statement: “In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that a woman’s choice about whether to have an abortion is a fundamental, Constitutional right. For half a century, courts have repeatedly upheld this decision as a bedrock of American law. Today, a radical majority of the Supreme Court demolished fifty years of legal precedent.
Sen. John Hickenlooper released this statement shortly after the decision was announced, “For 50 years, the Constitution has protected a woman’s right to their own health care decisions. Today’s ruling shatters that freedom. It threatens not just a woman’s physical health and control over their own futures, but it also threatens to put them and their doctors in jail. The vast majority of Americans support the right to an abortion.
Rep. Diane DeGette, a Democrat who represents Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, tweeted: “In overturning Roe, the Supreme Court has just stripped away the right of millions of women to control what happens to their own bodies. We will not stand idly by & allow the court to strip away our rights like this. We will continue to fight this with everything we’ve got!”
