Colorado and Michigan have recently taken steps to protect the rights to abortion and gender-affirming services, while neighboring states have moved to restrict such procedures. In Colorado, Governor Jared Polis signed a trio of bills to further protect these rights, while in Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill repealing the state's 1931 abortion ban. These developments demonstrate the current political climate surrounding abortion in the US, with some states actively working to protect individuals' reproductive rights and others attempting to restrict access.
