CASPER, WYOMING - MARCH 10: An examination room is empty at Wyoming's last abortion clinic, Wellspring Center March 10, 2025 in Casper, Wyoming. In late February Wyoming's conservative legislature passed a bill HB42, requiring abortion clinics performing in-clinic procedures to meet the regulatory requirements of ambulatory surgical centers, causing the clinic to pause all services.

Overview

  • RISE Collective, launched by former staff of Warren Hern’s closed Boulder Abortion Clinic, says it is scheduling patients across all trimesters.
  • The clinic’s promotional video states care is available “for any reason,” noting Colorado imposes no gestational limits.
  • Executive director Alicia Moreno says 13 former staffers co-own the practice with equal votes on operations.
  • Organizers report nearly $20,000 raised on GoFundMe and say they are considering adding contraceptive and gender-affirming services.
  • Anti-abortion groups denounced the opening, highlighting that procedures could occur as late as 34 weeks, while CDC data show abortions after 21 weeks represent a small share of U.S. totals.
