Republican lawmakers warn that Democrats Colorado’s state legislature could face the rage of the Trump administration if the law signed a series of controversial bills passed Sunday labeling parents’ misconceptions of “forced control.”
“We really feel like we’re thrustling the bear,” Senator Jarvis Caldwell told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
According to Caldwell, Colorado enacted a law this year to expand medical access to illegal immigrants.
“And the transgender issue, we are pushing this more than ever. Coloradoand that violates what President Trump I’m watching. ”

So, Caldwell said it was “a very realistic possibility” that some of the state’s programs could risk losing federal funds, adding that the 100th anniversary nation “paying the results for it, Democrats are responsible.”
“Health is a big part of Medicaid, most of it is federal funds, and so is education afterwards,” Caldwell said. “And we are especially passing the invoices. Illegal immigration The issues are directly related to these issues. And I think that will be on President Trump’s radar. ”
Colorado The democratic House majority was barreled Sunday through four controversial gender and abortion bills. “Praying with family” Reduce floor debate with “unprecedented” floor procedural tactics.
The bills passed include SB25-183, which requires taxpayers to fund abortion services. HB25-1309, insurance companies require transgender procedures regardless of age. HB25-1312 imposes a state-mandated gender policy on schools and considers it as “forced control” if parents do not affirm their child’s gender identity or affirm their “deadname.” SB25-129 prohibits cooperation with out-of-state investigations on transgender procedures and abortion services.

Monica Duran, Democratic leader of the state Capitol, told Fox News Digital that four bills were discussed on the floor for more than 12 hours last week. Duran also called procedural rules that would limit the discussion to two hours last Friday.
But Caldwell said there was nothing within 24 hours compared to the 12 months of the Democratic majority that spent on several bills.
“They had a year to coordinate their testimony, and they had less than 24 hours,” Caldwell said. “And when it goes to the final vote, we are each supposed to get 10 minutes for discussion, and they completely block out all discussion.”
Republican minority Nor could any of the amendments be passed. In the case of HB 1309, where insurance companies cover the costs of transgender procedures regardless of age, Republicans have introduced an amendment excluding minors.
“Part of the coverage is genital surgical procedures, so hormonal therapy, facial reconstruction, then breast reduction and breast enhancement,” Caldwell said. “And now yours Medical PlansEven if you disagree with this, in my opinion, you’ll pay a higher premium that is most likely to cover the cost, for sexually cutting off your child. ”
SB25-183 and SB25-129 will head to the governor’s desk for signature, while other House bills will now go to the Senate for consideration.
