A federal judge in Colorado has blocked a state law that prevented a Catholic health care clinic from offering progesterone to reverse medically induced abortions.
U.S. District Judge Daniel D. Domenico on Saturday issued a preliminary injunction to allow Bella Health and Wellness to offer the abortion-countering medication, saying the state law infringed on the clinic’s “free exercise of religion.”
Progesterone can reverse the effects of the first drug used in medication-based abortions, mifepristone, and is given to women at risk of miscarriage, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty noted in a news release. Colorado’s law threatened legal action against pro-life clinics such as Bella Health and Wellness, which has facilities in Denver and Englewood.
“We are relieved and overjoyed to continue helping the many women who come to our clinic seeking help,” said Dede Chism and Abby Sinnett, mother-and-daughter cofounders of Bella Health and Wellness.
