COLORADO WOMEN, STATE LAWMAKERS DENOUNCE ABORTION BAN DENVER (Feb. 9) – On Monday, February 12, 2007, Colorado’s Senate Judiciary Committee will consider Senate Bill 143, an anti-abortion bill sponsored by Senator Scott Renfroe (R-SD 13, Greeley) and Representative Kent Lambert (R-HD 14, Colorado Springs). Protect Families, Protect Choice, a statewide coalition of pro-choice organizations, opposes the dangerous measure that, if passed, would turn back the clock on women’s reproductive health care and severely restrict women’s right to choose in Colorado. The measure would ban all abortions in Colorado except those performed to save the life of the pregnant woman. Representative Jim Riesberg (D-HD 50) will be joined by other state legislators, constituents from Senator Renfroe’s district, Protect Families, Protect Choice to speak out against the measure during the following event: EVENT DETAILS What: Protect Women’s Health Care in Colorado: Stop Colorado’s Abortion Ban Press Conference
