These facilities are located in states that are expected to protect unborn babies by banning or strictly limiting abortions without Roe in the way. Already some are closing, and hundreds of thousands of unborn babies could be saved from abortion as a result.
In 2021, there were 790 abortion facilities in the U.S., up from 749 in 2018, the ANSIRH researchers found. Most of the new facilities that opened in that period were “telehealth,” meaning they sell abortion drugs to women with little to no medical supervision…. (Excerpt from LIFENEWS.COM)
