Heartbreaking Setback: New Late-Term Abortion Clinics in Colorado and New Jersey Spark Outrage Nationwide

The Rise of Abortion-Until-Birth – A New Era of Extremism
America faces a stunning new threat to its most vulnerable as late-term abortion clinics open in Colorado and New Jersey, sparking national outrage and grief. In a move that pro-life advocates are calling a ‘dark milestone,’ states once considered outliers in their radical abortion promotion are now leading a chilling nationwide shift. Far-left politicians and well-funded abortion activists, emboldened by statehouse majorities and unchecked by conscience, are pushing America into uncharted moral territory.
Just this month, Colorado and New Jersey, two states already infamous for some of the most permissive abortion laws on Earth, broke new ground. New Jersey is poised to become one of only nine states where abortions face zero restrictions-including those performed up to the moment of birth. The opening of the Luminosas Wellness Collective, a so-called ‘all-trimester’ abortion facility, cements the state’s position as a sanctuary-for anything but unborn children.
The numbers are impossible to ignore. Advocates estimate that hundreds of viable, fully developed infants-babies who could survive and thrive outside the womb-stand to lose their lives in these clinics every year. The practice is not just tolerated; in many cases, it is subsidized with your tax dollars. And the new wave is unapologetically radical. Marie Tasy of New Jersey Right to Life sums up the horror: ‘The Democrat Party’s North Star is now unlimited, taxpayer-funded abortion, right up to the day of delivery.’
‘We’re not talking about early-term procedures. We’re seeing the normalization of third-trimester killings, sometimes at 34 weeks and beyond. This isn’t compassion. It’s cruelty.’ – Heather Lawless, Reliance Center
While supporters wave signs about ‘choice,’ opponents point out that true compassion means defending the defenseless, not enabling elective late-term abortions for any reason, at any time. Critics are calling the practice nothing short of medical eugenics, and warn that society is barreling toward a future where conscience is silenced in favor of special interests that profit from life-ending procedures.
Community Outrage Boils Over as Abortion Advocates Rush to Exploit Legal Loopholes
‘Never before have so many Americans stood in horror-or in hope-as the debate over life rages hotter than ever,’ said Kevin Eaton, a local pro-life activist. The radical expansion of late-term abortion clinics has electrified communities across both states and reignited the national debate. In Trenton, New Jersey and Denver, Colorado, candlelight vigils and emotional forums have become a near-daily sight. News of the Luminosas Wellness Collective’s opening-offering abortion on demand until birth-has inflamed divisions.
Social media has exploded. On X (formerly Twitter), #StopInfanticide trended for 48 hours. Pro-life leaders and grassroots citizens shared harrowing stories-like that of Anna, a nurse who wept as she described seeing a child born alive during a botched abortion attempt. The images and words shook even seasoned observers.
Yet, abortion industry lobbyists-backed by millions from national groups-celebrate this ‘progress’ and vow further expansion. Governor Phil Murphy and allied Democrats boast about making New Jersey ‘the gold standard for reproductive freedom.’ Critics call these ‘freedom’ claims Orwellian double-speak masking a grim reality: viable babies are being targeted simply for being ‘inconvenient.’
And this new wave comes after years of the incremental chipping away at limits and clinical safeguards. Previously, New Jersey did not allow abortion past the second trimester, forcing women to travel out of state for late procedures. No more. Today, activists hail the absence of limits as a victory, regardless of the mounting casualties-babies aborted at ages when thousands of preemies survive each year.
‘You want to see the face of moral bankruptcy? Look at lawmakers cheering an agenda in which no unborn baby is safe at any point, for any reason,’ – Marie Tasy, New Jersey Right to Life
Rally turnout is rising, and even moderate voters are starting to ask: if extremism on abortion is now the norm, what’s next? How much further can the abortion industry push before America says ‘enough’?
Planned Parenthood Leaves a Hole-But Pregnancy Centers Step Up for Women and Babies
As abortion providers double down, a little-publicized revolution is happening across red-leaning America-anti-abortion pregnancy centers are stepping in where Planned Parenthood is fading away. The Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which finally overturned Roe v. Wade, emboldened states to defend life. As a result, hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics shuttered or shifted focus.
In California, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte closed five centers, affecting thousands of low-income patients. The trend continued in the Midwest, where the largest affiliate north of Texas closed a combined eight more facilities in Minnesota and Iowa after new federal funding cuts and a move to telehealth services. The Gulf Coast saw two more shutter in Louisiana as Medicaid funding dropped off a cliff. The message is clear: abortion profiteers are on the run in many states, and America’s moral majority is winning hearts and minds where it matters most-at the grassroots.
Into this breach have stepped resourceful, faith-driven crisis pregnancy centers, determined to offer true help, hope, and health to women and their babies. Led by visionaries like Heather Lawless of Idaho’s Reliance Center, these clinics now provide STI testing, parenting support, medical referrals, and, in some cases, primary care services. Lawless makes their mission plain: ‘We ultimately want to replace Planned Parenthood with the services we offer.’ Not surprisingly, up to 40% of their clients come for non-pregnancy care, viewing the nurse practitioner as a trusted, ongoing caregiver.
It’s a model reshaping the landscape across Republican-led states, especially as 20 states have redirected public health funding away from abortion giants, toward women-first care. These privately funded, values-based centers have exploded in number-rising to over 80,000 nationwide in only two years, according to new data. Pregnancy centers are expanding medical services and filling gaps left by shuttering abortion clinics, despite resistance from the far-left and the abortion lobby.
‘When we care for both mother and child, we affirm the dignity of all,’ – Heather Lawless, Reliance Center
Predictably, abortion industry activists and their media allies have thrown up roadblocks, stoking concern over issues like privacy for these new pregnancy centers that operate without insurance. Yet, the reality remains: women facing crisis are choosing life, not because of legislative mandates, but because pro-life clinics walk with them in their hour of need.
America is at a crossroads. This year’s spate of late-term abortion clinic openings may be the abortion lobby’s last gasp before a new dawn in a nation that remembers its founding values. With the 2026 midterm elections on the horizon, Republicans across America are promising sweeping new protections for the unborn-and support for the women who choose life. The question now is whether America will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those who have no voice, or surrender wholly to the culture of death. In this fight, the future hangs by a thread.
