The pro-life movement has brought abortions to record lows in many states by passing a record number of pro-life laws. States like Michigan, Missouri, South Carolina, Mississippi, and others that have passed almost every kind of pro-life law imaginable and have cut their abortions by more than 50 percent.

The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute reports that 83 pro-life laws were passed in 2011, more than double any previous year. Dozens of pro-life laws were passed in 2012 and Guttmacher says 2013 may set an even bigger record.

One of the biggest effects passing pro-life laws has had is closing abortion clinics. A report LifeNews highlighted in August showed 44 abortion businesses closed in the last 12 months and 68 abortion clinics closed in the last two years.
