"The number of abortion providers in the United States fell by 25% just between 1992 and 2005. Without providers, the right to abortion is meaningless," she added.
Lady, NOBODY has the "right" to kill an innocent human being and we will not rest until the number of abortions drops 100%.

“While Planned Parenthood cuts its total number of centers providing non-abortion services, the number of abortion facilities is in the rise.”
I guess they are just re-focusing on their core business principles.
Speaking of core business, the leftists can kill just as many via Death Care, if nanzi pelosi can perform sufficient arm twisting (ie: district bribes with our money)
No need for an abortion clinic when the UPS Man can deliver Abortion Pills to your door with Next Day Service.
. <------ World's smallest violin playing right here, lady.

Is this figure correct?
It sounds high, but the more I think about it the more correct it sounds. There have been 50 million+ abortions since 1973, I don’t know how many women of child-bearing age there have been in total since then, but 150 million doesn’t seem too far off. Of course this wouldn’t take into account women who have multiple abortions.
It appears that sometime in the future, the only places for abortions will be groups such as planned parenthood who have a positive view of abortion rather than a negative view. Is this a good thing? I don’t see polarization as a good thing.
I heard that same figure recently in my church. A lady was at the pulpit announcing a recovery program, if you will, for women in the church or community who've had abortions. She said that one in three women in America has experienced abortion (or will). I looked at the two women sitting on either side of me (one was my mother and the other was her decades-long friend) and I thought, "Uh, so which one of you old gals?!" My mom cracked up later when I told her that.
—According to CRR, nationwide 87 percent of counties in the country have no abortion facility and nearly 25 percent of women do not have one within 50 miles of where they live.—
How many veterans have VA services within 50 miles of where they live?
Who should we serve....heroes..or ho’s?
I notice that you are new here so I will give you the benefit of the doubt; however, your post raises some red flags.
Free Republic is a PRO-LIFE forum.
We aren't interested in abortions being performed ANYWHERE. ALL abortuaries have a positive view of abortion.
We DO want to polarize this issue and we are not interested in ANY "common ground".
FIFTY MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS have been MURDERED since Roe v. Wade, I don't give a damn what the pro-abortionists think.
It’s a shocking figure, but as wagglebee said, it may include those women who have had more than one abortion. Still, it is shocking.
With the possible exception of some remote areas of Alaska, I would venture to say that EVERY woman in America is within 20 miles of an OB/Gyn who is more than capable of delivering her baby.
That sign in the corner says it all about the motivation behind pro(had)-aborts.
They know what they did, and they KNOW what they did, and they don’t want ANY reminders that cause their conscience to kick them in the head.
You’ll see them do things like vandalize or flip off pro-life billboards.
I didn’t understand this behavior until I had the realization that the guilt is there, it is real, and it is perpetual. Most pro(had)-aborts spend their entire lives trying to justify their “choice” instead of repenting and putting it at the foot of the cross.
“Without providers, the right to abortion is meaningless,” she added.”
That’s the idea
Unless a person is a genuine sociopath (and very few are), EVERYONE eventually faces guilt over past actions. When the guilt comes there are two choices: 1. seek forgiveness from God and those harmed or 2. make excuses to rationalize away the guilt.
There are over 2,000 Pregnancy Care Centers in the US., most of them now have sonograms. These are the places where women are going and getting the truth and choosing life.
PCC’s, along with pro-life legislation requiring parental notification, 24 hour waiting periods,informed consent, etc. are the reasons that abortions are down and abortion clinics are closing.
Unfortunately, there’s still a long way to go in this battle.
