Lauren Boebert is livid that her home state passed pro-trans legislation
Die mad, bitch.
This is huge on multiple levels!! If you read the article, it says not only do the bills provide legal access to gender affirming health care and abortions, they also allow people to cross state lines against the draconian laws of their own states trying to prohibit them, because Colorado will protect people who cross state lines to access these things from being investigated.
That’s an incredible level of dedication and defiance of the fucked up states around them!!
This is some really good news. I hope it brings some light to people’s day. Like, great that a bigot is throwing a fit, but I’m way more excited about the actual legislation. 😀
That’s pretty common with sanctuary laws! Several states have sanctuary laws already, and MN just passed one today. WA, OR, and VT have bills in play, and OR’s Democrats have floated the idea of amending the state constitution to protect people’s right to self-directed health care for themselves and their children, including trans healthcare.
It means very little for your state to be a sanctuary without those clauses in there – if people can just be dragged back out again, why would they run there in the first place?
