Dr. Warren Hern closes Boulder Abortion Clinic after 50 years

The Boulder Abortion Clinic, one of the relatively few options for third-trimester pregnancy terminations and a frequent target of anti-abortion demonstrators, has closed after 50 years.
Dr. Warren Hern, the clinic’s outspoken director, said Wednesday that he’d run the practice for 50 years as of January, and saw his final patient last week. The clinic’s website has been replaced by a message that it would no longer accept patients, though a staff member still answered the phone as of mid-week.
“I’ve done my best to do this well,” Hern said in an interview about his decision to retire. “It’s time.”
Most states have a limit on how far into pregnancy doctors can perform an abortion. Colorado is one of nine states without a limit, according to the Guttmacher Institute. A ballot initiative to add a 22-week limit in 2020 failed, with 59% of voters rejecting it.

Dr. Hern is an absolute hero!
Years ago, my kids and I would pass his office when I would drive them in to Boulder for middle school. There were huge wrought-iron fences up all around it, and ALWAYS protesters outside.
Warren Hern endured decades of death threats from forced-birth extremists. He also endured the murder of his good friend of Dr. Tiller in Kansas in 2009.
I've never met him, but I can't begin to tell you how much I have revered him over the years.
