Can I Still Get the Abortion Pill?
Can I Still Get the Abortion Pill in Colorado?
If you’ve seen recent news about changes to abortion pill access, you may be wondering:
“Can I still get the abortion pill?”
In Colorado, abortion is still legal, and medication abortion is still available. However, recent federal rulings may change how the abortion pill is accessed — including the possibility that it may now need to be prescribed in person rather than by mail, depending on how ongoing legal decisions unfold.
Because these changes are happening quickly, it’s important to have accurate, up-to-date information before making a decision.
Before You Take the Abortion Pill
One of the most important first steps is understanding your pregnancy.
- How far along are you?
- Is the pregnancy located in the uterus?
- What physical symptoms could you expect from the abortion pill?
It’s very common to miscalculate gestational age — especially with irregular cycles or uncertain dates — and this can significantly impact what the experience is like. Learn more about the abortion pill here.
The abortion pill does not treat ectopic pregnancies and could mask or mimic the symptoms that alert you to an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening if left undetected. That’s why medical screening matters.”

- Heavy bleeding (soaking 2 pads per hour for 2 hours)
- Fever or feeling very ill for more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol
- Severe or worsening abdominal pain
