• Alabama has 59 Counties in which there is no clinic. (93%).

• Alabama has the 4th largest decrease in abortions in The South (-23%) between 2014 and 2017. 

• The report from the Guttmacher Institute* is HERE. It suggests the decrease is not because of state legislative restrictions:

  "the (national) decline in abortions appears to be related to declines in births and pregnancies overall. There are a number of potential explanations for this broad decline, some more plausible than others"
