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.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.
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.
