Colorado won't cooperate with other states' abortion investigations

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order Wednesday that says the state will not cooperate with other states’ investigations into people who received abortions or reproductive health care in Colorado and protects people working here from being disciplined for performing such services. Polis signed the Reproductive Health Equity Act earlier this year to codify abortion and other reproductive health care into state statute, and the sponsors of that bill hope to run a constitutional ballot measure in 2024 to enshrine abortion access into the state constitution, but some have been asking Polis to push further in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs which effectively overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed states to outlaw abortion access.
