Republican House Caucus Statement on Roe v. Wade Resolution

The people of Colorado are suffering from the weight of the high costs of inflation, housing and taxes. Homelessness and crime are on the rise. The people have sent Legislators here to the Capitol to work on making their lives better.

Instead of focusing on the issues of affordability, housing and crime that Democrats have caused with their failed policies, they are pulling another “bait-and-switch” scheme by attempting to turn the conversation towards abortion.

Roe v. Wade was overturned on June 24, 2022 by the United States Supreme Court by the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision and is no longer the law of the land. In that decision, the Supreme Court stated that it is the right of the states to develop abortion laws.

“Last session, there were three abortion laws passed by the Democratic Majority. Colorado has the most radical abortion laws in the country, including abortion through the day of birth,” stated Representative Brandi Bradley (R-Roxborough), on behalf of the Republican House Caucus.

She continued “This Resolution is purely political hype and will do nothing to address the real issues facing all Coloradans. The Legislature was elected to be the voice of ALL people and work towards finding solutions to those problems; not to proclaim the work of past Legislatures for political gain. There is no shortage of issues that deserve this body’s attention. The Republicans stand united with the people of Colorado in our message to our Democrats on the other side of the aisle: ‘Let’s go to work for the people of Colorado and stop the extreme political games.’”
