'Handwriting On The Wall' for Failing Abortion Industry
Pro-life Movement gaining ground: Over two-thirds of all abortion
clinics have closed since 1991, resulting in saved lives
WICHITA, Kans. - Operation Rescue has released the results of an
extensive research project into the abortion industry showing that the
number of abortion clinics continues to dwindle as Americans become
more pro-life.
"We now have an accurate listing of every open abortion clinic in the
country," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "In 1991, it was
estimated that there were nearly 2,200 abortion clinics in the country,
today there are just 713. The pro-life movement has made significant
strides exposing and closing abortion clinics and shifting public
opinion toward the pro-life position. This has resulted in lower
abortion rates."
Operation Rescue has listed all abortion clinics along with a map
showing their locations. The information shows a general relationship
between access to abortion clinics and the abortion rate in each state.
With few exceptions, the states with greater access to abortion clinics
have higher abortion rates.
The release of the list launches "Project Daniel 5:25", Operation
Rescue's latest campaign to expose abortion industry abuses and bring
the perpetrators to justice. Project Daniel 5:25 is named after the
Biblical story of Daniel, who was able to read the handwriting on the
wall and predict the fall of a wicked kingdom.
"The days of legal abortion in this nation are numbered. Pro-life
sentiment continues to gain ground as abortion support slips. Abortion
clinics continue to close as demand decreases and as abortionists are
increasingly exposed and reported to the authorities by pro-life
groups," said Newman.
"Project Daniel 5:25 encourages those with pro-life views to establish
a presence at their local abortion clinic to pray and offer help to
abortion-bound women -- but also to monitor the clinic for criminal
violations and other suspicious acts. We have never found an abortion
clinic that follows the law. It is up to pro-life activists to serve as
the watchdogs of the abortion industry and be the eyes and ears of law
enforcement.
"We can do more than simply protest abortion clinics. We can document
their illegal and dangerous behavior and work within the law to close
them down.
"With a pro-life watchdog group at every clinic reporting what they see
to the authorities, we will certainly see more abortionists criminally
charged and abortion clinics closed. We know first-hand from having our
offices in a closed former abortion clinic, that when clinics close,
lives are saved."
Those who wish to participate in Project Daniel 5:25 are encouraged to
call Operation Rescue at 1-800-705-1175.
