Pro-life advocates are hopeful because the latest abortion statistics show that the total number of abortions declined in the Commonwealth in 2010. Pennsylvania’s abortion totals would be much higher were it not for the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program, administered by Real Alternatives. The program provides everything from day care referrals to diapers to empower women to choose life for their children. While even one abortion is a tragedy, we are encouraged that the abortion rate is declining in our state.
