Abortion clinics closing at record Pace

So far, in 2013, 44 abortion clinics have closed. Due to new state laws and improved inspections, abortion clinics have been forced to close down in record numbers. 42 of those offered surgical abortions, while the other two offered chemical abortions.

For Abby Johnson, it takes on a special meaning. When the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas closed, it was the end of a long circle for Johnson, who once ran that abortion clinic before her conscience got the better of her and she left Planned Parenthood for Coalition for Life.

Good news, although I doubt that the improved health and safety regulations are responsible for all of it.

The number of abortions has dropped since the beginning of the recession back in 2008. The CDC attributed the drop to increased use of birth control because in tough economic times, birth control is the least expensive option when compared to abortion or childbirth. (I’ll add that abstinence is even less expensive; however, expecting large numbers of people to adopt abstinence is unrealistic.)

The CDC doesn't know much about human behavior. They should stick to fighting bugs. Historically the birthrate drops during hard economic times, and the current recession is no exception. If the birthrate falls, the abortion rate will fall for the same reasons: fewer pregnancies. The nexus between the pregnancy rate and the economy is not hard to imagine.
