Spousal Consent

The U.S. Supreme Court held that requiring a woman to obtain her husband's consent prior to an abortion is unconstitutional.  Planned Parenthood of Cent. Mo. v. Danforth, 428 U.S. 52, 67-72 (1976).  Yet Colorado has not repealed its unconstitutional and therefore unenforceable law that provides that a woman who is married and living with her husband may not have an abortion without her husband's consent.  Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 18-6-101(1) (Enacted 1967); Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 18-6-102 (Enacted 1967).

78 percent of Colorado counties have no abortion provider
