“Part of my medical practice now is knowing patients’ travel itineraries, so I can stick to flight times,” Dr. Kristina Tocce said.
Colorado is among the states with the highest spike in abortions after the collapse of the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, with abortions up 33% between April and August, according to a new Society of Family Planning report.
In April, patients had 1,450 abortions in Colorado, according to the report. In August, that number was 1,940. The report did not include numbers for self-managed abortions — medication abortions without clinical supervision. Other times, patients drive to Colorado clinics, even without having appointments, waiting in their cars for cancelations. The wait times for appointments have increased, with some patients having had to wait 23 days for abortions, which Tocce called “horrific” for such time-sensitive care. The wait has now decreased to about two weeks as Planned Parenthood clinics are working to add hours and staff.
