Described as being "spiked" by The Denver Post, Senate Bill 175—the "Reproductive Health Freedom Act"—had garnered major public opposition, most notably by the Archdiocese of Denver. It passed through the relevant committee last week, and was considered likely to pass the state Senate by a one-vote margin this week.

However, a prayer vigil and protest by Archbishop Samuel Aquila brought hundreds to the steps of the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon, and one undecided Democrat delayed the vote from Tuesday to Wednesday.

On Wednesday, that Democrat, Sen. John Kefalas, was still undecided, and sponsor Sen. Andy Kerr decided not to push the bill. Kerr blamed "delay and filibustering tactics [that] were going to become the absolute rule of the day here over the next three weeks over SB 175."

The measure, which would have banned anything that "denies or interferes with an individual's reproductive health care decisions," drew criticism by Republicans that Kerr was only pushing the legislation for re-election purposes. Furthermore, according to Sen. Bernie Herpin, "it's a solution in search of a problem."
