A record 87 surgical abortion clinics closed in 2013, a new study finds.
The total number of surgical abortion clinics in U.S. fell 12% to 582 in 2013 - a 73% decline from a high of 2,176 in 1991.
Texas led all states with 11 closures in 2013, most of which shut down after Texas passed an abortion law earlier this year that required abortionists to maintain local hospital privileges. New clinic safety rules in Pennsylvania and Maryland also prompted closures in those states.
"The numbers don't lie. A 73% drop in surgical abortion clinics is a significant loss. We are witnessing the death throes of the abortion cartel," said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, which conducted the study.
