Protecting individual freedoms and ensuring that Coloradans have access to quality, affordable reproductive health services is a top priority for Governor Polis. Since taking office in 2019, the Polis Administration has built on the successful Colorado Family Planning Initiative (CFPI), which provided support to providers and low or no-cost contraception to low-income Coloradans.
Governor Polis issued Executive Order D 2022 032, directing state agencies and departments managed by Governor-appointed executives to protect access to reproductive health care in Colorado within their authority under law.
Coloradans do not want politicians making their healthcare decisions. Because of my administration and Democratic leadership in the legislature, Coloradans don't have to worry because our rights are still protected today despite the unfortunate reality that the U.S. Supreme Court rolled those freedoms back for millions of Americans in other states. In Colorado, we will continue to choose freedom and we stand against government control over our bodies. State leadership matters now more than ever and in Colorado we will not retreat to an archaic era where the powerful few controlled the freedoms over our bodies and health decisions.
