Cobalt has testified against and helped defeat 51 anti-abortion bills at the Colorado General Assembly since 2010. In 2024, Cobalt testified against House Bill 24-1106 and House Bill 24-1224, which were both defeated in their committees. HB 24-1106, sponsored by Representative Scott Bottoms, would have created a mandatory 24-hour waiting period for abortion procedures and abortion prescriptions, with no exceptions for preserving the life or health of the pregnant person. HB 24-1224, also sponsored by Rep. Bottoms and thirteen House Republicans, would have banned all abortions as well as IUDs, in-vitro fertilization, and most treatments for miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and other nonviable pregnancies, with no exceptions. HB 24-1224 would have sent abortion providers to prison for murder.
