Confirmed: Fourteen Texas Abortion Mills Shut Down While Electrical Outage Prevented Appointments in Dallas
October 6, 2014

Austin,
TX - On the first Monday after an appeals court ruled that Texas
abortion laws could be enforced, Operation Rescue has confirmed that 14
of 23 abortion facilities in Texas that were open for business before
last Thursday's ruling are either closed or no longer accepting abortion
patients.
Operation
Rescue called each of the 23 remaining Texas abortion clinics on the
morning of October 6, 2014, and confirmed the closures. The research
also revealed that the closures simply have not resulted in long
waiting times for abortion appointments as wrongly predicted by
abortion supporters.
"We
are encouraged by the closure of these fourteen abortion facilities
that were operating under substandard conditions that endangered the
lives of women," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, which
has worked to expose abortion abuses in Texas uncovered during its
investigations in that state. "Abortion numbers should reach all-time
lows in Texas, and that should be welcome news to everyone."
