Abortion rights advocates demonstrate in front of the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2021, in Washington, as the court hears arguments in a case from Mississippi, where a 2018 law would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, well before viability.

Extensive legal challenges are playing out over abortion access on a national level, and Colorado lawmakers may consider a bill this session that would help secure reproductive rights in the state. For more on the Reproductive Health Equity Act, and the state of abortion access in Colorado, we speak with Dusti Gurule, president and CEO of Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights.

As the host of KUNC’s new program and podcast In the NoCo, I work closely with our producers and reporters to bring context and diverse perspectives to the important issues of the day. Northern Colorado is such a diverse and growing region, brimming with history, culture, music, education, civic engagement, and amazing outdoor recreation. I love finding the stories and voices that reflect what makes NoCo such an extraordinary place to live.
