Colorado lawmakers are considering legislation that supporters say will crack down on what they describe as 'deceptive practices' by anti-abortion pregnancy centers
DENVER – Colorado lawmakers are considering legislation that supporters say will crack down on what they describe as"deceptive practices" by anti-abortion pregnancy centers.Opponents of the bill, including the Colorado Catholic Conference, are now responding, saying the legislation would take away a woman's choice and would violate the U.S. Constitution.
“Our interest in this issue first came up because we work predominately on college campuses and college students were telling us that these centers are really a source of shame and stigma,” said Nicole Hensel, the executive director of New Era Colorado, which is pushing for the bill’s passage. “Anti-abortion centers present themselves as legitimate family planning reproductive health care clinics, but these fake clinics use deceptive advertising to draw in vulnerable people seeking care to harass them with biased and inaccurate information about abortions and contraceptives,” said Marchman. “People who go to these clinics looking for help report being shamed and lied to – the exact opposite of the safe and accurate care we are beholden to protect as elected officials.
West dismisses accusations of deceptive advertising and says clients who visit are not being coerced into doing anything against their will.
