\"No<\/a>Karen Hildebrand, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of West Texas, claimed<\/a> that \u201cwe are gonna see an increase in abortion rates\u201d upon the closing of a Planned Parenthood facility in Odessa, Texas.<\/p>\n

In 1995, there were 938 operating Planned Parenthood clinics in the country.\u00a0 That number is down<\/a> to 785.\u00a0 Another number down?\u00a0 Annual number of abortions<\/a> in America.<\/p>\n

The number of annual abortions performed annually in America slowly but surely declined since 1990, when it peaked at 1.6 million abortions yearly.\u00a0 That number is down to 1.2 million.\u00a0 Planned Parenthood\u2019s abortion rate, on the other hand, has increased annually<\/a> since 1996, and only declined for the first time<\/a> between 2009 and 2010, going down from 331,796 to 329,445.<\/p>\n

A declining number of Planned Parenthood facilities has correlated with a declining number of annual abortions in America.\u00a0 The only time those abortion numbers have increased is within the walls of their own clinics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
