Summary
Abortion is legal in Colorado.
Introduction
Few topics can create as heated a debate as a discussion on abortion. People on both sides, whether pro-choice or pro-life, often feel adamant that state and federal reproductive laws should follow their moral or religious views.
As of April 4, 2022, abortion is legal in Colorado at all stages of pregnancy as a matter of state law. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overruled Roe v. Wade, had no impact on Colorado law.
Note: State laws are always subject to change through the passage of new legislation, rulings in the higher courts (including federal decisions), ballot initiatives, and other means. While we strive to provide the most current information available, please consult an attorney or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.
