The Catholic Archbishop of Denver and three fellow religious leaders in Colorado have written an open letter urging Catholic legislators who live or worship in the state to refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for HB22-1279, the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which Gov. Jared Polis signed into law on April 4, but which the authors of the letter call “one of the most extreme abortion bills in the country” and a bill based on “morally bankrupt logic.”
The bill enjoyed equally strong support from Colorado’s Democratic officials. When the bill became law, State Senator Julie Gonzales said, “I couldn’t be prouder. . . . We trust Coloradans to make their own public health decisions.”
