Gov. Jared Polis, D-Colo., signed into law a bill creating a “fundamental right” to abortion, contraception, and other forms of “reproductive health-care rights," while explicitly denying any right to a fetus. The bill explicitly addresses the Supreme Court's upcoming decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, in which the Court is expected to overturn the abortion precedent in Roe v. Wade (1973).
