Several dozen abortion facilities have closed in the two and a half years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, according to a report from Abortion Care Network, a trend which comes amid more reliance on abortion pills and other methods of murdering babies beyond surgical abortions.
The national pro-abortion organization revealed in the report that independent abortion facilities, which are privately operated abortion facilities distinct from Planned Parenthood, hospitals, and private clinician offices, have closed across the country in the months and years after Roe. There have been seventy-six closures of independent abortion facilities since the decision, with forty-two closing their doors in 2022, twenty-three closing in 2023, and eleven closing in 2024.
There are still over 360 brick-and-mortar independent abortion facilities in the country, as well as more than 220 independent abortion entities which only offer abortion pills online.
Abortion Care Network added that some 70% of independent abortion clinics which have stopped operations in the past two years were in the South or the Midwest, where some states have banned or regulated murdering preborn babies by means of surgical abortions after Roe.
The report nevertheless comes as abortion pills rapidly account for a greater share of abortions. Some 63% of abortions across the United States are now conducted by means of abortion pills, according to data from the Guttmacher Institute.
The typical abortion pill regiment usually relies on a combination of mifepristone, which blocks a critical pregnancy hormone called progesterone, as well as misoprostol, which forces the delivery of the murdered preborn baby.
More than one million abortions are meanwhile estimated to have occurred last year, reflecting the highest levels of murdered preborn babies in over a decade.
The sixteen conservative states which claim to have banned abortion continue to have a substantial number of mothers murdering their preborn babies, since pro-life laws in those states grant immunity and impunity to women who seek abortions, according to a report from the Foundation to Abolish Abortion.
