Owens sinks morning-after pill By Mark P. Couch
Denver Post Staff Gov. Bill Owens on Thursday
vetoed a bill that would have made it easier for
women to get emergency contraception.The
rejection of House Bill 1212 is the second time
in two years Owens has disappointed women's
health groups and elated abortion foes.This
year's bill would have given pharmacists an
unprecedented power in Colorado - the ability to
dispense medication without a physician's
prescription.In his veto message, Owens said the
bill "strays radically from the accepted norms of
medicine" by shifting prescribing power to
pharmacists. He added that the medication is
currently "widely available" with a physician's
prescription.He also said the bill would have
enabled minors to "use emergency contraception as
a form of regular birth control without a
doctor's consultation."Owens' concerns are
consistent with opponents' views of the bill."We
are pleased the governor recognized the problems
in this piece of legislation," said Tim Dore,
executive director of the Colorado Catholic
Conference, which opposed the bill.Backers of
emergency contraception said Owens valued
politics more than women's health."This is the
second year in a row that the governor has turned
his back on women's health," said state Sen.
Jennifer Veiga, D-Denver. "Next year, perhaps we
will have the benefit of a governor who will not
put politics ahead of women's health."Legislative
efforts to make emergency contraception more
widely available have failed for the past four
years.Sen. Betty Boyd, D-Lakewood, said two bills
were killed by Senate committees when the
Republicans controlled the chamber.Last year,
Owens vetoed a bill sponsored by Boyd that would
have required health care providers to notify
rape victims about how to obtain the pills.That
bill would have applied to all providers,
including Catholic

Over 2,000 Women Got Free Emergency Contraception
DENVER

• Over 2,000 Women Got Free Emergency
  ContraceptionDENVER?On Friday, June 30th, Planned
  Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains responded to
  Gov. Owens' veto of HB 1212?Colorado's Emergency
  Contraception bill by giving away over 2,000
  packets of EC."Planned Parenthood was heartbroken
  when Gov. Owens stopped that bill," said Vicki
  Cowart, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood
  of the Rocky Mountains. "We made this decision
  with our heart?not our pocketbook. Planned
  Parenthood hoped that women from all over
  Colorado would pick up emergency contraception,
  to keep at home, just in case."Planned Parenthood
  reports they distributed 2,042 packs of free Plan
  B emergency contraception. This is the second
  consecutive year PPRM has sponsored a Free EC
  Day. Last summer, PPRM gave away over 1,100
  packets of Plan B after Gov. Owens vetoed HB
  1042, which would have required all Colorado
  hospitals to provide information on emergency
  contraception to women who are victims of rape.
  Emergency Contraception (EC) is a special
  combination of birth control pills that when
  taken within 5 days of unprotected sex can safely
  and effectively prevent pregnancy. Last year,
  women turned to PPRM for Emergency Contraception
  more than 67,000 times."Emergency Contraception
  can only be effective if women are informed about
  and have prompt access to it," said Cowart. "If
  legislators want to reduce the number of
  abortions, they should support access to
  Emergency Contraception. Experts estimate that
  wider access to EC could prevent 1.7 million
  unintended pregnancies and 800,000 abortions
  every year. Planned Parenthood believes all women
  should have access to options that prevent
  unintended pregnancy."
