Late-Term Abortion Clinic Permanently Closes, Marks Huge Victory
In a significant victory for the pro-life movement and a testament to the power of faith and perseverance, the Boulder Abortion Clinic, once a notorious hub for late-term abortions, has permanently closed its doors. This closure marks the end of an era led by Warren Hern, a figure whose career was defined by the termination of unborn lives, often up to 36 weeks of gestation. For over 50 years, Hern’s clinic stood as a beacon for those advocating for abortion rights, but it now stands as a symbol of hope for those who cherish the sanctity of life.
Warren Hern, who astonishingly held academic positions at the University of Colorado, dedicated his life to what he described as “helping women to have safe abortions.” His textbook, “Abortion Practice,” served as a manual for those wishing to follow in his footsteps. Yet, despite his influence, the clinic’s closure is a resounding answer to the prayers of countless pro-life advocates who have tirelessly campaigned for the protection of the unborn.
Troy Newman, chief of Operation Rescue, expressed profound gratitude for this development, stating, “We cannot praise God enough for the closure of this monstrous killing center.” For decades, Operation Rescue and other pro-life organizations have been on the frontlines, documenting the tragic outcomes of Hern’s practice and advocating for the rights of the unborn.
The closure of the Boulder Abortion Clinic is not only a victory for the pro-life movement but also a testament to the enduring power of prayer and advocacy. Volunteers with the 40 Days for Life Boulder campaign, who have been steadfast in their mission for 17 years, noted a decline in patient activity in recent weeks. Their unwavering presence and dedication to life have played a crucial role in this momentous outcome.
Newman further highlighted the gravity of Hern’s actions, stating, “There is a devastating hardness of heart required to kill a child at nine months in the womb and only a handful of abortionists in this country have achieved that level of stone cold evil. Warren Hern is one of them, and we pray no one ever follows in his murderous footsteps.”
As we reflect on this closure, it is vital to remember the importance of upholding traditional values and the sanctity of life. The closure of this clinic is a reminder of the impact that faith, family, and freedom can have in shaping a society that values life at all stages. Let us continue to pray for the victims of abortion and for the repentance of those who have been involved in such practices, trusting that through faith and perseverance, we can build a nation that cherishes and protects the most vulnerable among us.

Faith Facts
- Clyde and Gwen Antwine celebrated 70 years of marriage rooted in Christian service and missionary work across Europe and the United States.
- The couple met at a youth camp in Texas and built their relationship on shared faith, mission trips, and a commitment to mentoring young Christians.
- They helped establish a healthy church in Zurich, Switzerland, and continued to serve faithfully at Memorial Road Church of Christ in Oklahoma.
The Antwines first met as teenagers at a two-week encampment at Abilene Christian University. Clyde was 15 years old and sold his FFA prize-winning steer for $40 to attend. That is where he first saw Gwen, then 14, and asked to take her picture.
He carried that photograph in his wallet for five years before they reunited at Abilene Christian during his sophomore year. They married six months later.
“The last day of camp, I worked up the courage to ask her if I could take her picture, and she posed. And I put that picture in my wallet. I didn’t even know her name. I just knew she was pretty.”
After Clyde graduated, the couple boarded a boat for Europe in 1959. They served seven years in Zurich, helping to strengthen a young congregation of the Church of Christ. Their work laid a foundation that still bears fruit today.
Later the Antwines served in the German cities of Augsburg and Munich. After nearly two decades overseas, they returned to the United States. Clyde became missionary in residence at Oklahoma Christian University while Gwen served as office manager for The Christian Chronicle.
“Gwen would get you laughing and see the positive side when things got tough, and Clyde, in his quiet voice, would somehow say the exact words you needed to hear to keep you spiritually grounded.”
Their legacy continues through the many students they mentored for mission work. The Antwines never sought recognition. Their only goal was to prepare others for Kingdom service.
Today, Clyde still carries that original photograph of Gwen from their teenage years. Their story stands as a clear testimony of enduring love, steadfast faith, and lifelong commitment to the Lord’s work.
