Colorado lawmakers approved a law banning abortion reversal treatment. But medical professionals who provide such treatment wouldn’t necessarily be punished if a draft rule is adopted

But doctors and other medical professionals who provide such treatment wouldn’t necessarily be punished for unprofessional conduct if a draft rule under consideration is adopted by the state’s medical boards.

Pro-life medical organizations, such as the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists and many pregnancy resource centers, say abortion reversal treatment is safe. It also says healthcare providers who provide abortion reversal treatment would be engaged in unprofessional conduct or subject to discipline unless the Colorado medical board, the state board of pharmacy, and the state board of nursing decide the treatment is an accepted standard of practice.But a new draft rule they’re considering wouldn’t automatically punish medical workers who provide such treatment.

Lawmakers who spoke at the feedback hearing on Friday said if the boards don't make a determination, state law would still ban the treatment.
