Colorado late-term abortion facility closes after 50 years

After 50 years of performing late-term abortions, Dr. Warren Hern has announced the permanent closure of his Boulder Abortion Clinic.

Hern, who opened the clinic in 1975, expressed in his statement that while he values his work, he is stepping away from the clinic to "find other ways to support reproductive freedom." Despite his departure, the clinic's closure is seen as a major pro-life victory, marking the end of one of the most notorious abortion facilities in the country.

While abortion remains legal in Colorado, this closure represents a step forward for the pro-life movement, as it eliminates one of the few remaining late-term abortion providers in the state.
