NEW: A federal judge has blocked Colorado from enforcing a set of new laws enshrining further access to abortion against an Englewood faith-based clinic pending a hearing scheduled for next Monday.
Bella Health and Wellness, a faith-based clinic which operates in Englewood, was granted a temporary restraining order hours after Gov. Jared Polis signed SB23-190 into law.
In court documents, the faith-based clinic claims the new law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech and exercise of religion, as well as patients’ free-speech, due-process, and equal-protection rights. They also claim the new bill is “void for vagueness.” “The plaintiffs thus face discipline such as fines or potential loss of their medical licenses if they continue to provide such services, which to them is a religious obligation," the temporary restraining order states.
It extends those protections to transgender patients dodging restrictions in their own states. Gender-affirming health care has been available for decades, some states have recently barred minors from accessing it, even with parental consent. Hospitals in some of those states say gender-affirming surgeries are rarely recommended for minors anyway. Puberty blockers are more common.
