Colorado Democrats advanced legislation to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, despite a recent incident where a teenage girl died due to a botched abortion at one of its facilities.
The move comes amid federal funding cuts and has reignited debates over the radical pro-abortion organization’s accountability. The Colorado House passed a bill on Sunday during a special legislative session to ensure Medicaid coverage for Planned Parenthood.
This action follows Congressional Republicans’ federal tax and spending package, known as the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law this summer, which effectively cuts off funding for the abortion organization.
“Although the provision is currently paused while it faces legal challenges, Colorado Democrats are moving ahead with legislation to keep services funded if the restriction is upheld,” CPR News reported, highlighting the state’s commitment to backfilling the loss.
The decision should drawn sharp criticism in light of a March 15 LifeNews.com report detailing the death of a 17-year-old girl following a botched abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Fort Collins.
18-year-old Alexis “Lexi” Arguello died in February of complications from a second-trimester abortion she had obtained at a Colorado-based Planned Parenthood.
A testimony at the Colorado Committee of Health and Human Services (HHS) March 12 hearing about House Bill 25-1252, a bill on regulating abortion facilities, provided another perspective regarding Lexi’s death.

In her testimony, Dr. Keri Kasun, a pharmaceutical medical professional, explained that one of Lexi’s family members connected with her, seeking answers about the medical complication that Lexi experienced after the abortion.
Lexi was 22 weeks pregnant when she went to the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood to abort the child, according to Kasun. Kasun said Lexi’s grandfather told her what happened when he and his wife were called to the hospital on Feb. 6 – the day they learned that Lexi was pregnant and the day that Lexi died.
“[Lexi’s grandfather] could see the heroic efforts the doctors were doing to save her life, and he could see the deep concern in their faces that the situation was very dire,” Kasun said. “Her vitals were all over the place, the oxygen levels were horrible. After multiple doses of epi and seven liters of blood, his granddaughter’s blood pressure dropped — her heart rate and blood pressure dropped — and he [had] seen in his granddaughter’s face that it was her end.”
Kasun explained that a complication called amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) can occur after an abortion or delivery. According to Kasun, Lexi experienced one, and it caused her to develop disseminated intravascular coagulation, a serious blood clotting condition. Kasun noted that Lexi did not have this condition before going into the abortion facility.
Lexi’s grandparents “were devastated over the loss of their grandchild, and their great grandchild that day,” Kasun said.
Kasun said during her testimony that Planned Parenthood told Lexi’s grandfather that she wasn’t transferred quickly enough.
“She didn’t receive the urgency of care that would be required in order to have a chance to survive this condition,” Kasun said. “Instead, she got the silent siren treatment.”
According to Operation Rescue, the “silent siren treatment” is a tactic Planned Parenthood uses when they have to call for an ambulance. Operation Rescue slammed Planned Parenthood for downplaying medical emergencies with this tactic, which involves requesting no sirens be sounded. It delays the time it takes for patients to receive the treatment they need. According to Operation Rescue, local witnesses also said that ambulances going to the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood take side routes rather than using the more accessible entrance, staying “hidden and out of sight.”
An investigation is underway.
