Colorado Late-Term Abortion Clinic Closes After 50 Years

A Colorado clinic infamous for late-term abortions has shuttered after 50 years of being open, Associated Press reported.

“It became impossible to continue, but closing is one of the most painful decisions of my life,” 87-year-old clinic founder and late-term abortionist Dr. Warren Hern said of closing the Boulder Abortion Clinic last month.

The clinic was one of the few in the U.S. that aborted unborn babies after 28 weeks of pregnancy, and for years, Hern was the only abortionist in the U.S. who performed abortions later in pregnancy, according to the report.

The clinic ultimately closed because of financial issues: Hern said many women had difficulty paying for $10,000 late-term abortions, which are often not covered by insurance, and said the number of longtime personal donors was also decreasing, the report states. He said he hoped someone would take over his practice, but no one ever did.

“I had to make a decision really, you know, sort of on the basis of the situation at the moment that we couldn’t continue,” he said. “It was very, very painful. I see this as my personal failure.”

Hern has been quoted in various left-wing media outlets discussing his performance of late-term abortions. In an extensive interview with The Atlantic published in May of 2023, he admitted to going up to 32 weeks and beyond.

One woman the reporter spoke with recalled getting an abortion from Hern at 35 weeks after her baby was diagnosed with brain anomalies that would have led to her child living with disabilities. The woman described the late abortion as “euthanasia” and said, “I put my baby down.”

Hern said in The Atlantic interview that many babies suffering late-term abortions are unwanted for other reasons besides fetal anomalies.

Hern admits only reason he’s closing is that he’s not willing to abort unless he makes a lot of money. A perfect ending.

Hern is a Demon.

I’m sure he already has lots of money and at 87, he doesn’t have much time to spend it, not in Hell, that’s for sure.

Most doctors know what, "First, do no harm." means. And they know what breaking "Thou shalt not kill" gets them.

Legitimacy granted by judges for hire is the only reason that abortionists aren’t characterized as hitmen, contract killers for hire.

Excellent point!
