Closure of Colorado Clinic Known for Late-Term Abortions
A Colorado clinic known for late-term abortions has closed due to financial issues after 50 years, leaving a unique gap in this type of service in the U.S. The founder, Dr. Warren Hern, expressed deep regret about the closure. The clinic performed abortions even after 28 weeks of pregnancy, with some instances going up to 32 weeks and beyond. Dr. Hern justified late-term abortions based on a woman's willingness to carry the fetus rather than strict gestational age limits.
