DENVER – A federal judge has blocked the state of Colorado from enforcing a new law that bans the use of abortion pill reversal treatments.
The abortion pill reversal treatment at the center of the new law is a hormone called progesterone given to women who decide not to continue with their abortions after taking the abortion pill mifepristone, which inhibits progesterone, a hormone that helps maintain a pregnancy. Still, Bella Health argued, having the state enforce the ban on abortion reversal treatments would have interfered with the faith-based clinic’s stated purpose of promoting and protecting life “from natural conception to natural death” in accordance with Catholic teachings.“There is no question whether burdens Bella Health’s free exercise of religion. It does,” the judge wrote in his ruling.
First, Domenico argued that the state’s interests in regulating the medical profession were “undermined by the disparate treatment of comparable secular activity,” as the new law “treats comparable secular activity more favorably than Bella Health’s religious activity.” Lastly, Domenico argued that the burden of the law would end up primarily affecting those with religious convictions.
