precious lives(United States)—There was encouraging news on Thursday, regarding the number of abortions performed in the U.S. A new study by the Guttmacher Institute, which deals with reproductive issues, showed that the abortion rate had fallen to its lowest level in nearly twenty years.

According to a Health Day News report, the research author, Rachel Jones, did not know exactly what caused the decline, but that it was a “descriptive study."

The research revealed that the number of abortion providers also went down, with 2 percent fewer in 2005 than in 2000.
