Regulations in Texas Abortion Industry Effective at Reducing Late Term Abortions

I read an article in Big Think "The Economics of Second Trimester Abortions: Market Supply".  I read the entire article, but came back to this, the very first paragraph.  This is what we pro-lifers work towards.  Less babies being killed by abortion, and given a chance at life.

New research finds that government regulations that restrict the supply of abortions performed after 15 weeks gestation in the state of Texas increased the price of late abortions by 37% ($454) and lead to an increase in the number of unintended births by over 6,600 in the three years following the implementation of the regulation.

The jist of the article is that regulations on the abortion industry in Texas, have adversely affected the price of late-term abortions, causing less women to have them. 

What this means to me, is that an average of 2,200 more babies a year, avoid being slaughtered by an abortionist.  This... is something I can live with.
