<p>For decades, the fight against abortion has focused on protests, prayer, and elections. Now the strategy is to go after the lifeline of the abortion industry &#8211; its money and its workers. And the new strategy is getting results.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since 1992, two-thirds of the abortion clinics in America have shut down permanently,&#8221; Mark Crutcher, founder and president of Life Dynamics Inc., said.</p>
<p>Crutcher and his organization, headquartered in Denton, Texas, have been fighting hard against the abortion industry for the past three decades. In 1992, there were more than 2,100 clinics open. Today, there are fewer than 650. <span class="post-teaser-more">&nbsp;<a href="http://heartsunitedforlife.com/?p=2138" title="Permanent Link: Beating Abortion: Killing the Industry&#8217;s Lifeline" rel="bookmark">Read more...</a> <i>(1405 words, estimated 5:37  mins reading time)</i></span></p>
