Supreme Court of Colorado

Jane E. Norton, Petitioner v. Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood, Inc. A/k/a Planned Parenthood — Boatright, J…

January 22, 2018409 P.3d 331

Summary

The dissent argues that the complaint plausibly alleged that public funds were indirectly used to fund abortion services under the plain language of the constitutional provision. It rejects the majority's additional requirement that the State have acted with the purpose of compensating the provider for performing abortions. The dissent would hold that the complaint stated a claim, or at least permit amendment to satisfy the newly imposed requirement.
