In Colorado, Planned Parenthood health centers have seen a 33% increase in abortion care in the year after Dobbs, and a 41% increase across the region (Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico).
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Colorado abortion providers began to scramble — they had some plans in place, but they knew the demand for their services would go up significantly for people from other states. Advocacy groups also increased efforts to expand access through state legislation.
“Abortion is health care,” Cobalt’s statement on the one-year anniversary read. “That’s not a slogan. That’s a statement of fact, and we are seeing the effects in Colorado of dozens of states all around us banning a health care procedure.”
