Colorado House Approves Campus Abortion Medication Bill
The measure requires campus health centers and pharmacies to provide abortion medication, with religious exemptions for institutions, supporters said.
- On Monday, the Colorado House passed House Bill 1335, requiring higher education institutions to provide on-site abortion medication services through student health centers.
- Democrats Lorena Garcia and Kenny Nguyen sponsored the legislation after students requested on-campus access to abortion medication, with Garcia reporting no higher education entity in the state opposed it.
- Forty-One Democrats voted for the bill on its third and final reading, while 21 Republicans and one Democrat, Rep. Bob Marshall of Douglas County, opposed it, citing campus burden concerns.
- Rep. Stephanie Luck cited an April 2025 Ethics and Public Policy Center study finding one in 10 patients experience serious adverse health events, though The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists says the medication is safe.
- Institutions with sincerely held religious beliefs are exempt from the requirements, while campuses without on-site pharmacies must submit prescriptions to off-campus providers or dispense medication through student health centers.
