626 women decide not to abort after receiving information: Number of Abortions Decrease in Minnesota.
In spite of the best efforts of Planned Parenthood, abortions in Minnesota dropped by 1.5% in 2007 from the 2006 figure. The welcomed decline in deaths from 14,065 to 13,843 was revealed in the annual abortion report issued each year by the Minnesota Department of Health's Center for Health Statistics.
Minnesota's 2003 Woman's Right to Know law requires that all women considering abortion be given information about abortion risks, complications, and alternatives; the gestational age of their unborn child; fetal pain information; and other materials. Last year, 626 women decided not to abort their babies after receiving this information.
Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) said the decrease was a "welcome sign" and that the 1.5% decline also reflected the impact of the first full year of the Positive Alternatives program being in place.

Fischbach said flatly, "Abortions declined because 2007 was the first full year of Positive Alternatives." He added, "The program's simple, effective approach is to provide real help to women considering ...
