Colorado House Passes Bill to Protect Abortion and Contraceptive Access
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Colorado House of Representatives passed a bill Monday codifying the
right to an abortion and contraceptive care in the state. The measure is
also expected to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate. The move comes as
Republican-led states around the country are attacking reproductive
rights and criminalizing abortion, and as the Supreme Court is weighing
a case that could essentially overturn Roe. v Wade.
