In 1993, when Planned Parenthood operated 922 clinics in the United States, it began a campaign with the goal of having "2,000 clinics by the year 2000". Planned Parenthood was confident that it had the support of people in communities all across the country. Clinic numbers did, in fact, begin to rise over the next couple of years, growing to 938 clinics by 1995. However, Planned Parenthood found that the communities where it was attempting to expand wanted nothing to do with it. Furthermore, the people in the communities where Planned Parenthood had already established clinics were outraged as well. All over the country Planned Parenthood was finding that it was, in fact, not welcome.

Every year since then Planned Parenthood's clinics have been closing all over the country. American Life League's Stop Planned Parenthood department has been gathering research for 21 years on the actions of Planned Parenthood and has found that its 1995 total was the highest number of clinics it ever reached. After completing this year's comprehensive research on Planned Parenthood's clinic base, American Life League has found that clinics continue to close. With 13 clinics closing in seven states this year alone, the trend of a clinic closing on average every month continues. the rest
