Abortion Facility Numbers Continue to Decrease in 2018 According to New Survey

Abortion Facility Numbers Continue to Decrease in 2018 According to New Survey

The number of abortion clinics in America continued to decline in 2018, following a trend that has seen an overall decrease of 159 abortion facilities since 2012.

Overall, in 2018, 40 abortion facilities closed or no longer qualify as abortion clinics. Today, there are a total of 697 abortion centers left in America – seven fewer than there were at the end of 2017

Do you know what decreases the need for abortions?

Hint. It is not on the list in your "article"

Successful pro-life activism.
New state laws.
Failure to comply with existing laws and safety regulations.
Loss of tax funding in several states.
Loss of abortion provider.
Unwillingness of landlords to continue leases with abortion businesses.

People having full contraceptive coverage that includes long term birth control is a good start.....
 
And thanks to better sex education and more reliable birth control options abortions are way down.

In the 1980s there were 1.6 million abortions.

By 2015 there were less than 700,000

United States abortion rates, 1960-2013

Therefore , not as many abortion clinics are needed.
From the CDC

In 2015, 638,169 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. The abortion rate for 2015 was 11.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 188 abortions per 1,000 live births.

Compared with 2014, the total number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions for 2015 decreased 2%. Additionally, from 2006 to 2015,
the number, rate, and ratio of reported abortions decreased 24%, 26%, and 19%, respectively.

In 2015, all three measures reached their lowest level for the entire period of analysis (2006—2015).

Do note that we have to replace our aborted population with uneducated low skilled illegal immigrants.

People not having them, that's what.

Gee, maybe instead of murdering my child I will actually have my child, and if I cannot take care of him then I will give him to a loving family.

THAT is what decreases the need for abortion.

I don't think anyone can argue that giving birth doesn't immediately eliminate the need for abortion. But a far more effective way to reduce the number of abortions is to allow any human who is capable of reproduction immediate and unlimited access to sex education and birth control measures.

The number of live births have also gone way down.

I agree.

From the following US News article:

THE NUMBER OF ABORTIONS reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fell by 2 percent year over year and by 24 percent over the span of a decade, a new report shows.

There were 638,169 abortions reported to the CDC in 2015, the most recent year for which data tallied by the agency are available, down from 652,639 in 2014 and 842,855 in 2006.

The shifts may be tied to a decline in the share of pregnancies that are unintended and to the increased use of more effective contraceptives, the CDC said.

The Birth rate for the United States is way down.

From the following:

The fertility rate in the United States has been falling for years, dipping so low that the nation's population would be declining without immigration, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This marks the seventh straight year that the fertility rate has dropped.

In 2017, the nationwide fertility rate was 1,765.5 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age—well below the rate of 2,100 births per 1,000 women necessary to keep the population stable.

Adoption is wrong, IMO. I would never place a child.

Abortion is not murder. FACT.

So how many children have you adopted?

The number of children that I adopt has nothing to do with the FACT that abortion is murder and a crime against humanity. Your question is a childish pathetic attempt at a re-direct.

If you believe that adoption is the solution for unwanted children why haven't you adopted any?
 
Operation Rescue?

Is Operation Rescue a reliable source for news? See Operation Rescue (Kansas) - Wikipedia

"Operation Rescue West was founded by Operation Rescue's tactical director, Jeff White, as a branch of Randall Terry's original Operation Rescue organization. Under Jeff White, Operation Rescue West maintained its focus on abortion. White stepped down in 1999 following an $880,000 judgment against his organization for harassment and intimidation of Planned Parenthood staff and handed the organization over to the leadership of Troy Newman. In 2002, Newman moved the headquarters to Wichita, Kansas,[2][3][4] to focus its efforts on late-term abortion provider George Tiller, who was assassinated in 2009."

(My emphasis - more @ the URL)

I notice that Operation Rescue is completely silent on this sequence of events in their piece @ the first link above. They're not proud of their involvement in George Tiller's death (see the Wikipedia article)?
 
Re: Operation Rescue?

Looks like the well armed III%-ers have decided that it's time to gather on this issue.

Decreasing unwanted pregnancies is a huge help. Imagine your source completely eliminating that.:lamo

From your article....

"Unintended pregnancy is the major contributor to induced abortion," the report says. "Increasing access to and use of effective contraception can reduce unintended pregnancies and further reduce the number of abortions performed in the United States."

Exactly women do not abort wanted pregnancies unless there is an extreme medical reason to do so.

The shifts may be tied to a decline in the share of pregnancies that are unintended and to the increased use of more effective contraceptives, the CDC said.

While some clinics may have closed due to Pro-Life activities, they probably did not overall drastically decrease the abortion rates.

Less pregnancies means less abortions. Less unwanted pregnancies means less abortions.

A couple years back someone hear posted articles about the lengths people were going to obtain abortions in areas where the abortion clinic had shut down.
-crossing boarder into Mexico, taking medications obtained from illegal sources , etc highlighted the list. The problem is, closing down a clinic does not mean the woman with an unwanted pregnancy does not feel desperate. Shutting a multipurpose clinic that also dispenses contraception may increase the possibility of unintended pregnancy.

But nothing I say will change the truth you have "in your head"

But personally I actually want pragmatic solutions to lowering the abortion rates even further. If R v W is overturned....and abortion becomes outlawed....I guarantee your local drug pusher will be your abortion pill hotline. For many women, this will mean BETTER access to abortion (albeit less safe). If folks need to go to a pusher for abortion pills....I 100% guarantee there will be disgruntled boyfriends dosing their pregnant girlfriend.

I would like improved contraception and better access/affordability to long term contraception. That, pragmatically speaking is better way to go.
