Colorado's secretary of state, Jena Griswold, affirmed that her office would 'not extradite anyone for a criminal violation of another state’s laws.'
Jared Polis signed an executive order Wednesday forbidding state officials from helping other states in criminal and civil investigations of women who travel there to receive abortions, Colorado's secretary of state,affirmed that her office would"not extradite anyone for a criminal violation of another state’s laws."
"Every American should have the right to choose who to start a family with, if and when to start a family, and how many children to have," she wrote."Pregnancy is never something that should be forced on women by the government.", and more restrictions are on the horizon. Many Democratic-led states, meanwhile, have looked to bolster protections for women seeking abortions and the medical providers offering it.
Yahoo News spoke with Griswold about the legal quagmire that the high court's decision has unleashed. The interview has been edited for clarity.Griswold: We are seeing many states act in this way, refusing to extradite women who have to travel or doctors on the basis of laws that abridge Americans' fundamental freedoms.
Given that the extradition clause is part of the U.S. Constitution and that conservatives now control the Supreme Court, are you concerned about how a legal challenge could play out?
