On the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, pro-lifers have something to celebrate: the closure of 1,500 abortion clinics over the past 22 years.

In 1991 there were 2,176 surgical abortion clinics nationwide; today there are 660 and falling. More than 1,500 abortion clinics, 70 percent of the total, have closed their doors for good.

In 2012, an average of seven abortion clinics closed each month.
