(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.

According to the reported figures, in 1994 there were approximately 33,500 abortions or a rate of 13.7 abortions per 1,000 females between the ages of 10 and 55.
