On Monday, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed into law (signing statement) HB 22-1279 (full text), the Reproductive Health Equity Act which provides in part:
(1) Every individual has a fundamental right to make decisions about the individual's reproductive health care, including the fundamental right to use or refuse contraception.
(2) A pregnant individual has a fundamental right to continue pregnancy and give birth or to have an abortion and make decisions how to exercise that right.
(3) A fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent or derivative rights under the laws of this state.
