The Colorado Senate passed the bill on party lines after 14 hours of debate at 11 p.m. Tuesday, March 22.
Legislators presented amendments attempting to add required parental notifications, none of which were passed.Sen. Julie Gonzales, the prime sponsor, stated she was glad her sisters, two of whom she said opted for abortion, had the freedom to decide.
Teresa Zoltanski, a retired attorney, was among the those testifying against the bill in the House and the Senate testimony. She said she read the entire bill again as she was waiting to testify against it to the Senate. She said she felt that as a pro-life Democrat, the legislature still isn’t representing her or the many pro-life Democrats.
As the bill stands now with no other bill passed yet addressing notification of parents, though proposed bill HB22-1236 is said to, she said, “The plain language of the abortion bill gives minors the right to have unlimited access to abortions, without any parental notice.”
