New report shows gigantic drop in abortions in MissouriAbortions in Missouri dramatically dropped over 2018 as the state’s only abortion facility struggled to maintain its license after a spate of botched abortions.Tue Jan 14, 2020 - 9:01 pm ESTJEFFERSON CITY, Missouri, January 14, 2020 (Operation Rescue) — A preliminary report from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) shows that abortions in Missouri dramatically dropped over 2018 as the state’s only abortion facility, Reproductive Health Services in St. Louis, struggled to maintain its abortion license after a spate of botched abortions.
The report, which was submitted to the state legislature in compliance with reporting regulations, showed that from January 1 through November 15, 2019, 1,354 abortions were conducted in Missouri by RHS Planned Parenthood.
The preliminary number represents a 78 percent decrease over the 2018 totals, when 6,125 abortions took place at three abortion facilities in Missouri, according to state abortion statistics kept by the DHSS.
An abortion pill clinic in Kansas City and a surgical abortion facility in Columbia — affiliates of Planned Parenthood — both halted abortions in 2018, and did no abortions in 2019.
“Missouri has had tremendous success reducing abortions, closing abortion facilities, and preventing a planned expansion of abortions into additional communities,†said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “Their laws and willingness to enforce them has protected thousands of women from harm and saved countless innocent lives. Other states should look to Missouri as an example.†. . .

Planned Parenthood chose to set up shop across the river in Illinois rather than cooperate with the state to make their clinics 'safer' for women getting abortions.
