While a majority of Republicans stand generally opposed to abortions, with some limited exceptions in the early stages of pregnancy, nearly all recoil in abject horror at the grim reality of late-term abortions, which typically occur in the second or third trimester of a pregnancy, after the point of viability outside the womb for the unborn baby.

Many of those pro-life Republicans will be cheering the news that an infamous abortion clinic in Colorado that specialized in performing late-term abortions was recently shut down after more than 50 years in operation, Breitbart reported.

The closure, celebrated by the pro-life right, comes despite the pro-abortion leftist media's best efforts to lionize the defiantly anti-Christian abortionist who founded and ran the clinic, Dr. Warren Hern, who will proudly murder any unborn baby at any stage of a pregnancy for any or no reason at all.

Infamous late-term abortion clinic finally shut down

The Associated Press, in an article that unquestionably defended and downplayed the grotesque nature of Dr. Hern's grisly work, lamented the fact that the Boulder Abortion Clinic, one of probably fewer than two dozen late-term abortion clinics nationwide, had quietly closed its doors last month.

Indeed, the outlet emphasized how "rare" late-term abortions are, in that they are estimated to make up around just 1% of all abortions. Yet, with anywhere from 600,000 to 1,000,000 abortions in the U.S. annually, those "rare" late-term procedures account for roughly 6,000 to 10,000 terminations of fully formed unborn babies, many of whom would have been born without defects and had the potential to live long and productive lives.

Hern, 87, who began performing late-term abortions in 1973, told the outlet of shutting down his clinic, "It became impossible to continue, but closing is one of the most painful decisions of my life."

The closure was largely prompted by "financial issues," per the AP, as Hern came to acknowledge that fewer and fewer patients were willing or able to shell out upwards of $10,000 for the risky procedures that typically aren't covered by insurance, as well as the "dwindling" numbers of personal donors who'd supported his lethal work for decades.

"I had to make a decision really, you know, sort of on the basis of the situation at the moment that we couldn’t continue," the abortionist said. "It was very, very painful. I see this as my personal failure."

Media tries to make abortionist a celebrity

It was exactly two years ago, in May 2023, that The Atlantic attempted to celebritize Dr. Hern with a flattering profile piece that heralded the elderly abortionist's zealous devotion to destroying the unrealized lives of unborn babies in the late stages of a pregnancy.

The outlet acknowledged that while around half of those late-term procedures were performed due to distressing medical diagnoses and anticipated severe health problems for the babies, the remainder were purely voluntary and based on various financial or personal reasons offered up by the would-be mothers -- none of which mattered to Hern.

"Most Americans support abortion access, but they support it with limits -- considerations about time and pain and fingernail development. Hern is reluctant to acknowledge any limit, any red line," The Atlantic stated.

"He takes the woman’s-choice argument to its logical conclusion, in much the same way that, at this moment, anti-abortion activists are pressing their case to its extreme," the article added. "Hern considers his religious adversaries to be zealots, and many of them are. But he is, in his own way, no less an absolutist."

Despite media claims to the contrary, late-term abortions are happening

According to Breitbart, Colorado is one of just nine states, plus Washington D.C., that impose no gestational limits on abortions, including after the stage of viability, typically between 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, in which a baby is likely to survive outside the womb.

Dr. Hern's now-shuttered abortion clinic, in which an untold number of likely thousands of innocent unborn babies met their horrific demise over the decades, was just one of around 20 clinics that are known to perform late-term abortions after 24 weeks, and while pro-life Republicans are undoubtedly pleased that Hern's murder factory has closed its doors, they will not rest until the rest of those ghoulish operations are similarly shut down.
