The Boulder abortion clinic, a rare provider of late-term abortions, announced its closure, leaving patients scrambling for alternative options. Staff, led by Alicia Moreno, worked urgently to reschedule patients with other clinics across the country. The clinic's shut down comes amid a concerning increase in demand for later abortions following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as many states have enacted stricter abortion laws. Research shows that the percentage of women seeking second-trimester abortions has risen from 8% to 17% in states where abortion is banned. Patients now face even greater challenges in obtaining necessary care.
Moreno and staff had to quickly act when the Boulder clinic announced its closure, scrambling to find other clinics for patients needing later-term abortions.
The closure of the Boulder clinic means that obtaining later abortions will be more difficult, just as demand for these procedures is on the rise post-Roe.
