Your Choice Matters: Abortion Care for Patients Traveling from West Virginia | CARE Clinic Colorado
Let’s be honest, navigating reproductive healthcare can feel like trying to find your way through fog. If you’re in West Virginia and exploring abortion options, you might feel overwhelmed, frustrated, maybe even a bit scared. And that’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Here’s the truth: you deserve safe, respectful care, no matter where you’re coming from. CARE Clinic Colorado welcomes individuals traveling from West Virginia who need abortion services they can trust, without fear, confusion, or judgment.
Why Are Patients Leaving West Virginia for Abortion Services?
Lately, West Virginia’s abortion laws have grown stricter, creating uncertainty for countless people seeking care. Clinics have closed, regulations have tightened, and many find themselves stuck in limbo, not sure where to turn next.
And when your health is on the line, or you simply can’t wait, the idea of delays can feel unbearable. For many, traveling out of state becomes the only real option to get timely care with medical professionals who respect their choices.
So, people are heading west to Colorado, where the laws protect reproductive freedom and where providers like us are dedicated to compassionate, skilled care.
Who We Are at CARE Clinic Colorado
Let’s paint a picture: a modern, bright clinic in Pueblo, Colorado, where the staff actually listens and patients feel safe enough to exhale. That’s us.
While we’re based in Colorado, we’re proud to serve patients traveling from West Virginia, and any other state where accessing abortion has become complicated.
Here’s what we offer at CARE Clinic Colorado:
- Medication abortion (the abortion pill) either at our clinic or shipped by mail, available up to 11 weeks gestation
- Vacuum aspiration procedures up to 18.6 weeks gestation
- Surgical abortion for pregnancies further than 18.6 weeks gestation
It’s more than just medical procedures. It’s about care that feels human and support that doesn’t end once you leave the clinic.
Getting to Pueblo from West Virginia: What’s the Journey Like?
If you’re in West Virginia, you might be thinking, “Isn’t Colorado really far?”
Honestly, it’s closer than you might guess. Most folks choose to fly. Denver International Airport (DEN) is a large hub with flights from major carriers like American, United, and Southwest. From Denver, Pueblo is about two hours by car, and the drive is scenic and simple, especially along I-25.
Prefer driving all the way? Some people do, especially if they want extra privacy. From cities like Charleston or Morgantown, it’s roughly 20–22 hours behind the wheel. It’s a long stretch, but for some, having control over the journey brings peace of mind.
Either way, we’re happy to help you figure out flights, rental cars, hotels, or anything else. No question is too small.
Your Options for Abortion Care
Every patient’s story is different. That’s why we provide multiple options, so you can choose what feels safest and right for you.
The Abortion Pill (Medication Abortion)
- Available in our clinic or shipped discreetly to your mailing address for pregnancies up to 11 weeks
- A two-step process using mifepristone and misoprostol
- Many patients compare the experience to a heavy period
Some people prefer the privacy of managing their abortion at home, while others feel more secure in-clinic. Either way, we’re here to guide you.
Vacuum Aspiration (Up to 18.6 Weeks)
This quick in-clinic procedure uses gentle suction to empty the uterus. It typically takes less than 10 minutes. Patients often tell us how surprised they are by how fast and uncomplicated it feels.
Surgical Abortion (Beyond 18.6 Weeks)
For pregnancies further along, a surgical abortion might be the best medical choice. It’s a longer appointment, but our skilled staff ensures you’re comfortable, informed, and cared for throughout the process.
Your Privacy and Safety Are Our Priority
Leaving your home state for abortion care is a huge decision. We understand that it can raise questions about confidentiality and legal concerns. Here at CARE Clinic Colorado, we fiercely protect your privacy and treat you with respect at every turn.
Colorado’s laws firmly safeguard abortion access without the layers of restrictions patients face back in West Virginia. For many, that alone offers a huge sense of relief.
