(Worthy News) – The abortion rate of Georgia has been on the decline over the past quarter century, decreasing by nearly 20 percent, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
In an article published Tuesday, Maya T. Prabhu of the Journal-Constitution examined the Georgia Department of Public Health’s vital statistics database.
