Abortion in Arkansas Drops for Seventh Year in a Row

Abortion, , ,

Earlier this summer the Arkansas Department of Health released its annual report on abortion in the state.

According to state records, 3,732 abortions were performed in Arkansas in 2013. That is a 1.3% decline over 2012, making 2013 the lowest year for abortion in Arkansas since 1977.

The number of abortions performed in Arkansas has dropped for seven straight years, now, and abortion has shown general decline in our state since 1992.

There are many reasons abortion in Arkansas continues to decline. A few people have suggested it is simply the result of increased access to contraception, but we are not so sure about that. Public support for abortion has waned in recent years, with more and more Americans identifying as “pro-life,” and I would think twice before writing off the shifting tide of public opinion on this issue.

Johnson writes,

“When our former [abortion clinic] worker saw this award on public display, it really started to change her thinking about Planned Parenthood’s motivation.  This award was given to their Aurora clinic for ‘exceeding abortion visits first half of fiscal year 2012 compared to first half of fiscal year 2013.’

“This means that the Aurora Planned Parenthood exceeded the abortion quota that was imposed on them.  And THAT is award worthy according to Planned Parenthood.”
