Curious about abortion laws in other states?
Looking for abortion care in Denver? Whether you're looking to get abortion pills delivered fast, or want to find a clinic nearby, there are safe, legal, and private options available. This guide covers everything you need to know—your legal rights, local services, cost information, and how to get help choosing the option that’s right for you.
Is abortion legal in Denver?
Yes, abortion is legal in Denver and throughout Colorado. The state constitution recognizes abortion as a fundamental right, making it easier to get care compared to many neighboring states.
Here’s what that means:
- Legal at any time during pregnancy
- Minors don’t need to notify or get permission from a parent or guardian if a judge waives this requirement
- You do not need to notify your spouse or partner before an abortion
- No mandatory waiting periods or state-required counseling
Traveling for an abortion?
Denver is a popular destination for people who travel from states where abortion access is restricted. Denver International Airport is a hub for budget carriers like Frontier Airlines, and receives a significant number of Southwest Airlines flights daily.
If you’re getting a medication abortion, Hey Jane can discreetly ship abortion pills in unmarked packaging to any Colorado address—including hotel front desks or Fedex Hold for Pickup locations—so you can get care securely and on your schedule.

Where can I find abortion services in Denver?
You have several options for accessing abortion services in Denver:
1. Abortion pill (medication abortion): Available up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, this option involves taking two FDA-approved medications—mifepristone and misoprostol— at home or anywhere you’re staying. A medication abortion involves cramping and bleeding, similar to a heavy period, and is over 98% effective at ending a pregnancy. You can get abortion pills mailed to your door and virtual support from Hey Jane’s judgment-free care team. Start here.
2. In-person clinics: Located throughout the city, clinics are licensed health centers that can offer procedural abortions at any point in a pregnancy, or abortion pills up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. Every clinic is different—some offer same-day or weekend appointments, while others may take weeks or days to be seen depending on patient demand.

If you’re not insured or need financial assistance, Hey Jane offers income-based pricing and partners with NAF, Cobalt Abortion Fund, and Colorado Doula Project (see below). If you have insurance, visit our plan directory to learn if abortion care with Hey Jane is covered for you.
Does Colorado Medicaid cover abortion?
Yes, but it’s a little complicated. Right now, Health First Colorado (the state’s Medicaid program), only covers abortion if the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest, or if the health or life of the pregnant person is at risk.
However, Colorado Medicaid will cover abortion in all cases starting in 2026. This is when Amendment 79 will be implemented, which recognizes abortion as a constitutional right in Colorado and repeals an old ban on using public funds (like Medicaid) to cover abortion care.
What is the Cobalt Abortion Fund?
The Cobalt Abortion Fund provides direct financial assistance and logistic support to pregnant people seeking abortion care in Colorado, including residents and anyone traveling from another state. You can fill out a financial aid request form on their website, and someone will follow up within 24 business hours (Monday to Friday).
They offer help with:
- Procedure and medication costs
- Travel and transportation
- Lodging (like hotels)
- Food and groceries
If you’re looking for more support options, visit our financial assistance page.
What is the Colorado Doula Project?
The Colorado Doula Project is a volunteer-based collective of abortion doulas offering free emotional, logistical, and financial support for people having an abortion in Colorado. You can fill out a financial aid request form on their website, and someone will follow up within 48 hours.
Abortion doulas are trained professionals who can provide emotional, financial, and logistical support. They are non-clinical caregivers who focus on emotional, holistic support, including:
- Booking and paying for transportation to Colorado
- Lodging (like hotels)
- Money for food, gas, or childcare
- Coordinating abortion appointments
- Talking through your abortion options
Patients getting in-clinic care in Colorado may also be able to get rides to and from appointments with a volunteer Doula, and have them sit with you in the clinic during your appointment. If you’re looking for more support options, visit our financial assistance page.
What are my options for a medical abortion in Denver?
A medical abortion (abortion pill) is available up to 10 weeks of pregnancy and can be taken safely at home. It involves two medications—mifepristone, which stops the pregnancy from growing, and misoprostol, which helps the body cramp to expel the pregnancy. Together, they are over 95% effective.
After taking the first pill, mifepristone, you’ll take misoprostol 6 to 48 hours later. Cramping and bleeding typically begin within a few hours, and most people pass the pregnancy within 24–72 hours. The experience can feel similar to a heavy period, and it's normal to have intense cramps, bleeding, and fatigue for a few days afterward.
You can get the abortion pill through clinics or telehealth services that ship throughout Colorado, like Hey Jane. You can also read more about what to expect during a medication abortion.
How late can you get an abortion in Denver?
You can get an abortion at any point during a pregnancy in Colorado. There are no limits based on gestational age, or how far along the pregnancy is.
Can you get a free abortion in Denver?
Yes. You may qualify for free care through:
- Private insurance plans
- Colorado Medicaid plans if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, or if your life or health are at risk
- Nonprofit or community clinics
- Abortion funds like Cobalt Abortion Fund and the Colorado Doula Project
Free abortion care is typically available to people with low incomes, without insurance, or facing financial hardship. Cost should never be a barrier to abortion care, which is why Hey Jane offers several ways to lower the cost of care, including:
- Insurance coverage that can bring cost as low as $0
- Income-based pricing for all patients paying out of pocket
- Using HSA or FSA accounts to pay for treatment
- Get care now and pay over time through Affirm
- Financial assistance from Hey Jane’s abortion fund partners
Insurance coverage is not required to get care with Hey Jane—you can also pay for care with Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit and credit card.
How do you get abortion care without insurance?
If you’re uninsured:
- Apply for aid through the Cobalt Abortion Fund or the Colorado Doula Project
- Use virtual abortion services with transparent and (typically) lower pricing
- Look for clinics offering income-based sliding-scale pricing
Even without insurance, abortion care is within reach. The Hey Jane team can help you find the most affordable and accessible option based on your situation.
Looking for fast abortion access in Denver?
While some clinics offer same-day or next-day appointments, it can often take days or weeks to be seen. If you're eligible for the abortion pill, Hey Jane can help you get medication delivered in as little as 1-3 business days—quick, private, and on your terms.
