In a victory for pro-life forces, the State of Colorado agreed to pay more than $6 million in legal fees to settle litigation against a state law barring pro-life groups from providing the abortion pill reversal treatment for women.
The abortion pill reversal treatment looks to save the lives of babies by stopping chemically-induced miscarriages that have already started, according to a story published by The Christian Post.
The pro-life Catholic clinic based in Denver, Bella Health and Wellness, sued the state over a law that prohibited it from advising women not to complete an abortion pill regimen. The religious liberty law firm Becket, which helped represent Bella Health, announced Tuesday that Colorado agreed to pay $5.4 million in attorneys’ fees to settle the lawsuit.
“At least 18 moms who received abortion pill reversal care at Bella just celebrated Christmas with babies born during this case,” said Rebekah Ricketts, senior counsel at Becket, in a statement provided to The Christian Post.
“All Coloradans should celebrate those little miracles and the brave medical team at Bella that helped their moms when no one else would,” she added.
According to The Post, an abortion pill reversal treatment happens when a pregnant woman who is undergoing a medication abortion (also known as chemical abortion) changes her mind and takes progesterone, a natural hormone, to counteract the effects of the first pill.
On Tuesday, the State of Colorado also agreed to pay $700,000 in legal fees to settle a challenge by nurse practitioner Chelsea Mynyk, who joined the Bella Health lawsuit in 2024. Kevin Theriot, senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, which represented Mynyk, said in a statement released Tuesday that he was “pleased” with the settlement.
“Many women regret their chemical abortions, and some choose to reverse the effects of the first abortion drug, which can save their baby’s life,” he stated.
“But Colorado’s law wrongly attempted to deny women the freedom to make that choice. We’re pleased Chelsea and the other pro-life plaintiffs in this suit are allowed to get back to their life-saving work of helping women and children.”
