The Pueblo City Council voted on Monday night to indefinitely table the proposed ban on abortions after six weeks. The council voted 4-3 to table the agenda. 

The council member who introduced the motion to table the proposal said it is not a measure for the city but for the state Legislature, according to the Pueblo Chieftain

The move appears to be the first such attempt on a municipal level in the state since the U.S. Supreme court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year. Also this year, Colorado lawmakers codified the right to abortion into state law.
