Ohio Abortion Clinic Follows National Trend and Closes

Youngstown, OH – After 34 years in the abortion business, the Mahoning Women’s Center in Youngstown, Ohio, permanently closed its doors on January 12, 2010. The owner has retired and the building will be sold. The closure leaves the community of Youngstown abortion-free.

“This is such great news for the people of Ohio and all Americans. It means that lives will be saved,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We know from experience that when abortion clinics close, many women who would otherwise have opted for abortion will instead happily keep their babies or release them for adoption.”

The closure follows a well-documented national trend. In 1991, there were nearly 2,200 abortion clinics, but today there are 712. Since 1991 over two-thirds of all abortion clinics have permanently closed. That trend reflects the shifting attitude of Americans toward the pro-life position.

Operation Rescue documented this trend in Project Daniel 5:25, which lists the remaining abortion clinics and encourages pro-life supporters to maintain a presence outside each one.

Now we know why the usual suspects want to eliminate the conscientious objection for ob/gyns. Nobody wants to step into the shoes of the retiring abortionists, so they are wild with desperation to try and somehow force doctors into doing it.

That's a great thought (the second part of it), but why do you think that other "doctors" don't want to step in the shoes of retiring abortionists?

Because they think abortion is disgusting and, while some may pay lip service to “a woman’s right to chose”, they would all prefer someone else actually do the deed?

Is that from that YouTube link you sent me?

Hi Judith Anne. The photos I posted are from the pro-life march we attended, but the mill that closed is not the one we were protesting. Wouldn't that be grand, though? Here's the link of the video we put together (in a smaller size). Were you able to access the larger screen via dial-up? (Sorry about that; wasn't thinking!)

And here's an article link from the host of the pro-life march, Eric Scheidler: Link
