Nothing should stand between you and your health decisions, which is why Cobalt is dedicated to fighting for systems, structures and policies that protect reproductive rights and guarantee comprehensive, universal access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion.
Join Our FightOur Work
Your reproductive autonomy should not be dependent on your job, where you live, your financial situation, or, frankly, someone else’s political agenda. We are committed to securing and protecting every person’s access to reproductive healthcare, and combating all threats to that access — now and in the future. Cobalt’s vision is for every Coloradan to be able to make any health decision that is right for them, knowing they can do so free from judgment and that any resource they may need will be available.
