A Colorado House committee has advanced a Democrat-sponsored bill to add the right to abortion to state law.

Colorado allows access to abortion but has nothing in state law guaranteeing that access. The Denver Post reports that the House Health & Insurance Committee advanced the bill on a party-line vote early Thursday after nearly 14 hours of public testimony.
