Abortion clinics in US are closing

Bloomberg (via Town Hall) reports that a lot of abortion clinics in the USA have been closing down:

The reporting by Bloomberg, coupled with data from Guttmacher, which surveys provide every few years, show that clinics have closed at a record pace since 2011. During the past three years, an average of 19 closed each year. That’s more than double the rate in the decade ending in 2008.

A wave of regulations that makes it too expensive or logistically impossible for facilities to remain in business drove at least a third of the closings. Demographic changes, declining demand, industry consolidation, doctor retirements and crackdowns on unfit providers were also behind the drop.

For all we know, there is a very probable chance many women have chosen to become parents and thus give life to their newborns, too. Which is a good sign.
