Abortion providers in Colorado say they’ve been inundated with requests for abortion appointments and also are seeing an increase in appointments for birth control strategies such as vasectomies or IUDs.
Within an hour of news breaking that the U.S. Supreme Court had struck down Roe v. Wade, the phones at the Boulder Valley Women’s Health Center started ringing.
In the ruling’s wake, abortion providers across Colorado are seeing increased demand — and are coordinating to refer clients to each other in an effort to ensure people can be seen in a timely fashion, even if a particular clinic doesn’t have availability. They say they’ve been inundated with requests for abortion appointments and also are seeing an increase in appointments for birth control strategies such as vasectomies or intrauterine devices.
The Boulder Women’s Health Center just hired a nurse and a doctor, and is looking to expand the number of days it performs abortions, Peters said. In 2021, the fund helped 34 clients and provided $6,000 for non-procedural support, such as travel reimbursement, gas cards, groceries and hotel rooms. Since Roe was overturned, the fund has provided $25,888 for 71 clients, according to Abortion Fund Director Amanda Carlson.
