Can someone help with some abortion statistics/demographics?
The nutty Owosso K of C has got grinning old geezers stalking the local Planned Parenthood office. They wave a stop sign saying Stop Abortion Now while they yell "PLANNED PARENTHOOD DOES MORE ABORTIONS THAN ANYBODY!"

If there's a site that shows how many done by who (Best if it's a Right to Life site even) I can wave it in their faces and rub their noses in "Thou shalt not bear false witness."

Not having much luck and done a lot of looking. Anybody?

1. No, because that is probably true. (And what of it?) However, they have also
prevented more abortions than anybody because they provide free or low-cost non-judgmental services to all comers, with or without insurance.

2. Abortion stats are really hard to find.

They're not tracked nationwide and current information can be elusive or impossible to locate. The best luck I've had is from groups that track rates in individual states. I had to get info. from our state right-to-life group in order to get any idea of abortion rates in my own state.

4. How can you be sure they're accurate?
I don't know if I'd trust them to not to fiddle with the numbers to further their cause. Where would they be getting the numbers from?

3. The CDC has an "Abortion Surveillance" project-here is the latest report.
It doesn't have numbers on specific clinics.
