In 2022, 88 slaughterhouses for unborn children closed their doors permanently, and so far in 2023, another 49 have already closed. <strong>Each bloody business of this type that stops operating implies a large number of innocent lives that are saved<\/strong>, so this is excellent news.<\/p>\n<p><big>14 US states are now abortion-free<\/big><\/p>\n<p>But it is not the only good news that comes from the United States to those of us who defend human rights without making exceptions for unborn boys and girls: <em>\"<strong>Currently, 14 states are abortion free<\/strong>, with laws in place that protect incalculable numbers of innocent babies from being murdered in the womb,\"<\/em> Operation Rescue says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In those 14 states there is no longer a single abortion center left, which means many lives saved.<\/strong> They are the following: Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. To give us an idea, according to data from Operation Rescue, <strong>more than 8,000 abortions were performed in Indiana in 2021: now there are no abortion centers left in that state.<\/strong> There are perhaps more than 8,000 lives that will be saved in 2024.<\/p>\n<p><big>In 1991 there were 2,176 abortion centers in the US: today there are 670<\/big><\/p>\n<p>To give us an idea of the great influence that the work of the pro-life movement has had in that country, according to data from Operation Rescue, <strong>in 1991 there were 2,176 abortion centers in the United States, and in 2023 there are 670: 69% of they have closed<\/strong>. Operation Rescue President Troy Newman gives much of the credit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/06\/24\/historic-ruling-of-the-us-supreme-court-on-abortion-this-is-what-it-says\/\">the historic ruling of the Supreme Court that annulled abortion as a constitutional right<\/a>, returning to the states the possibility of legislating on the matter: <em>\"<strong>The overturn of Roe v. Wade is undoubtedly saving lives. And the enduring efforts of faithful Americans on the pro-life side are paying off<\/strong> and having a winning effect.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>This good news is a call to hope.<\/strong> Far from what some want us to think, the legalization of abortion is not an irreversible act of progress: <strong>it is a form of barbarism that must be abolished just like slavery was<\/strong>. Prohibiting the aberrant ownership of slaves was a difficult task and involved facing very powerful movements, but it was a good and just cause. <strong>The defense of the lives of unborn children is a cause as noble as activism in favor of the abolition of slavery.<\/strong> We must never give up in this fight for the weakest and most defenseless, in which Reason is on our side, because <strong>as science shows, human life begins with conception and every abortion involves killing a human being<\/strong>, something intolerable in a society that claims to respect human rights.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Valesha Wilson.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Culture of life advocates seem to always be receiving bad news, but we must never lose hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10732],"tags":[10430,4523,20692,2797,17070,20696,5962,20697,20698,20699,4745,3040,20700,4527,4522,10431,20701],"class_list":["post-54116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-life","tag-abortion","tag-arkansas","tag-idaho","tag-indiana","tag-kentucky","tag-labama","tag-louisiana","tag-mississippi","tag-missouri","tag-north-dakota","tag-oklahoma","tag-operation-rescue","tag-south-dakota","tag-tennessee","tag-texas","tag-united-states","tag-west-virginia"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 05:59:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54116\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
