US EditionLate abortions are rare. The US just lost a clinic that offered the procedure for over 50 years
- After more than 50 years, Dr. Warren Hern closed the Boulder Abortion Clinic in Colorado last month, removing a key late abortion provider in the U.S.
- The closure resulted from financial difficulties and increasing inability of patients to afford the procedure, which costs around $10,000 and is often uninsured.
- Dr. Hern, who started offering late abortions in 1973 with specialized techniques, expressed deep regret, while anti-abortion groups hailed the closure as a victory.
- Federal data shows only 1% of abortions occur after 21 weeks, but experts believe the actual number is higher, and fewer than 20 U.S. Clinics now offer abortions after 24 weeks on a case-by-case basis.
- Although late abortion access has narrowed, clinics like the one in Maryland opened after Roe v. Wade's 2022 reversal, indicating some availability remains but concerns persist about future care.
