Reproductive Health Equity Act (HB 22-1279)
Murder moves from committee to the Floor of Colorado State House
Extract from Rich Bennett’s (CEO of Life Network) report:
In the early morning hours of March 10, the Colorado House Health and Insurance Committee approved legislation that, if passed, will become the most extreme pro-abortion law in the country.
This pro-abortion bill now proceeds to the House floor for a vote. As Christians who are called to protect human life, here’s why this matters – and what you can do.
What the Bill Would Do
If enacted, the so-called Reproductive Health Equity Act (HB 22-1279) will codify the following into state law:
1. Allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason, including:
· Partial-birth abortion (infanticide of a baby partially birthed from the womb);
· Abortion based on discrimination of sex, race, or disabilities such as Down Syndrome.
2. Muddy and potentially eliminate the requirement that parents of minors be notified if their child receives an abortion.
3. Deprive the preborn of all legal rights in the state of Colorado
4. Prohibit any regulation of abortion.
Pro-abortion activists are pushing for a quick vote because they are worried that the U.S. Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade with their upcoming Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision, which is expected to be handed down by June.
Pray and Let Your Voice Be Heard: There are three El Paso County legislators who are most likely to vote “yes” on this deadly bill. As it proceeds to the House floor and then Senate for a vote, send each an email urging them to vote NO on HB 1279:
