“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

WICHITA, Kan., Nov. 15, 2022 /Christian Newswire/ — Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on June 24, 2022, the landscape of abortion in the U.S. has dramatically changed.
According to a new survey of each abortion facility in America conducted by Operation Rescue in October and November 2022, there are currently 683 abortion facilities/businesses operating in 36 states and the District of Columbia. Eighty-eight abortion facilities closed or halted abortions.
This represents the lowest number of abortion facilities in the U.S. in nearly five decades. In 1991, there were 2,176 abortion facilities in the U.S. Since that time, the number of abortion facilities have decreased a remarkable 68 percent.
For the first time since 1973, when abortion was decriminalized in America, there are now 14 states that are Abortion Free, with seven other states defending abortion bans in court.
There can be no doubt that the Pro-Life movement is winning the long battle to end abortion.
“The falling number of abortion facilities translates into lives saved,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We celebrate those saved babies, closed clinics, and new Abortion-Free states – something we haven’t seen since 1973, when Roe was tragically imposed on our nation. However, we remain troubled by the rise in the use of abortion drugs and the irresponsible increase in the distribution of those dangerous pills through the mail. There is still much work to do to protect every innocent life from the barbaric practice of abortion, but we can and should take great encouragement in the hard-won victories that have brought us this far.”
Operation Rescue’s exclusive investigative report details data obtained from every abortion facility in the U.S. In addition to examining the changes in the abortion landscape, it provides new figures on abortion costs, abortion wait times, and gestational age breakdowns, telemedicine availability, and more – all presented within the context of years of data gathered annually by Operation Rescue.
Operation Rescue’s exclusive special investigative report also discusses important trends that emerged from the survey data and related developments in this new post-Roe era.

[2] Canadian Pastor Found Not Guilty of Violating Covid-19 Restrictions
The following is excerpted from “Vindication,” Christian Headlines, Nov. 2, 2022: “A Canadian pastor who was arrested and jailed for holding church services during the COVID-19 pandemic has been acquitted of violating the province’s health rules. ‘All glory to God!’ Tim Stephens, the pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Calgary, tweeted Tuesday after Provincial court Judge Allan Fradsham ruled that the government had failed to prove its case. The controversy dates back to church services on February 28 and March 7 of 2021, when peace officers for the city of Calgary cited Stephens for failing to follow Alberta’s social distancing rules. Fradsham, though, ruled that Stephens was not legally responsible for members’ conduct. Stephens’ only responsibility was that he himself followed the social distancing rules, the judge ruled. ‘I see nothing in the provisions … which imposed any legal obligation on Pastor Stephens to ensure, compel, or encourage compliance, by those attending the religious services he was conducting,’ Fradsham wrote in a nine-page decision. … Stephens wrote on Twitter, ‘In total, five health tickets withdrawn, one criminal charge withdrawn, one contempt charge withdrawn, and now acquitted on these two counts. But I still spent twenty-one days in jail.’”
