Reaction to a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade has been coming in quickly in Colorado, where a new state law ensures abortion remains legal.

– The Supreme Court has struck down Roe v. Wade, overturning the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion nationwide, and Colorado leaders have been quick to share reaction. The announcement on the Supreme Court Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision was released on Friday morning.in 1973, establishing that women have a right to get an abortion before a fetus could survive outside of its mother’s womb — typically around 24 weeks of pregnancy.

The Supreme Court ruling overturns Roe v. Wade, which means that states regain power to regulate abortion.Sen. Michael Bennet released the following statement: “In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that a woman’s choice about whether to have an abortion is a fundamental, Constitutional right. For half a century, courts have repeatedly upheld this decision as a bedrock of American law. Today, a radical majority of the Supreme Court demolished fifty years of legal precedent.

Sen. John Hickenlooper released this statement shortly after the decision was announced, “For 50 years, the Constitution has protected a woman’s right to their own health care decisions. Today’s ruling shatters that freedom. It threatens not just a woman’s physical health and control over their own futures, but it also threatens to put them and their doctors in jail. The vast majority of Americans support the right to an abortion.

Rep. Diane DeGette, a Democrat who represents Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, tweeted: “In overturning Roe, the Supreme Court has just stripped away the right of millions of women to control what happens to their own bodies. We will not stand idly by & allow the court to strip away our rights like this. We will continue to fight this with everything we’ve got!”

🚨 In overturning Roe, the Supreme Court has just stripped away the right of millions of women to control what happens to their own bodies.We will continue to fight this with everything we’ve got!Rep. Joe Neguse responded to the decision with this statement, “Today’s decision by the Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade is deeply disappointing.

Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade; states can ban abortionThe Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday's outcome is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states. Another loss for America... The Big Government loving Republicans can now use Government to force birth. But then again...Republicans do hate America and Freedom so this makes sense The Constitution never spoke to abortion. I don’t know why you call it constitutional protection? It took 63 million babies to die before the realization came. With all those abortions we probably lost a lot of scientist, teachers, researchers, and probably 1st woman President. Good. Be a responsible adult.
