Some Catholics believe that the “emergency contraception” pills do more than prevent a woman from getting pregnant. They say that the pills could flush a fertilized egg out of the rape victim’s womb.
Executives at Exempla St. Joseph Hospital in Denver and St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction said they give
pregnancy tests to rape victims to determine whether they can offer emergency contraception.
They misrepresent it in the very name of the bill," said Martin Nussbaum, a Colorado Springs lawyer representing the Colorado Catholic Conference. “If it was about emergency contraception, there would be no controversy.”
In some cases, Nussbaum considers the pills equivalent to an abortion.
Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput has written editorials opposed to the bill. Chaput and other Catholic leaders met with the governor earlier this month to discuss public-policy issues.
