Colorado Abortion Laws
In the state of Colorado, abortion is currently legal at all stages of pregnancy. There are no mandatory waiting periods, parental consent laws for minors, or state-mandated counseling requirements.
However, that doesn’t mean the decision is easy or without risks. Understanding both the medical and legal aspects of abortion is an essential part of being informed, which we can help you learn about at Life Choices.
When Considering Medical Abortion
If you’re considering a medical abortion, also known as the abortion pill, it’s important to speak with a medical professional first, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- You are more than 11 weeks pregnant
- You currently have an intrauterine device (IUD)
- You may have an ectopic pregnancy (outside the uterus)
- You have health conditions like anemia, bleeding disorders, heart disease, severe liver, kidney, or lung disease, or uncontrolled seizures
- You take blood thinners or certain steroids
- You cannot easily access emergency care or reach a provider
- You are allergic to the drugs used in medical abortion
Your health and safety come first. That’s why it’s important to confirm how far along you are and rule out issues like ectopic pregnancy before making any decision. At Life Choices, we offer free and confidential pregnancy services, including pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds.
