Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration has revealed that abortion has declined in the state by 45% since 2021. Operation Rescue Chief Operating Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, said of the news, “With the permanent closure of just nine clinics, the state of Florida saw a 45% reduction in the number of babies killed. This is a state with the third highest number of abortion clinics in the nation, right after California and New York.
The work is far from over, but more lives are saved every time a clinic closes its door for good. This is why our team works so diligently to expose abortion abuses and to call for the equal enforcement of safety and health regulations at the shoddy abortion businesses we constantly find breaking the law.”
Abortions Down 45% in Florida, Babies Saved as Abortion Centers Close – Lifenews
Operation Rescue has stated again and again: When abortion clinics close, babies are saved. And the state of Florida is currently proving that point.
Chief Operating Officer Sarah Neely was recently invited to speak at the Florida March for the Preborn, a grassroots effort organized by Defending Life Alliance of Florida and sponsored by Operation Rescue. The event was well-attended and included other national speakers like Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, Lianna Rebolledo of Loving Life, Kimberly Bird of Live Action, and others.
Speaking to hundreds of Florida citizens, Neely stated, “Operation Rescue conducts a survey every year of every abortion clinic in America. This helps us track abortion trends like cost, gestational limits, wait times, and it also helps us track closures and openings — the number of abortion clinics. In the last 5 years, we have seen the number of clinics in Florida decrease by 16%. That might seem a small number, but small numbers add up over time.”
